I would be careful with excessive, rough, or forceful handling. I got a chameleon from someone who didn't know how to take care of chameleons when she was 5 months old. He had taken her out of the cage by by her body and would keep her on his hand while waving it around and talking. He was like...

You want to dust with calcium (without D3) daily. Calcium with D3 every other week. Multivitamin every other week

I have a female Jackson's for sale. She is approximately 1 year old. Has had 1 litter of young. $100 + shipping.

Cute! I'm not very experienced with shedding issues, but the feet look ok to me...

I agree. More leaves and vines and stuff. I use craft wire (doesn't rust) to rig decoration to the sides of my screen cages. Just be sure you twist the wire together on the outside of the cage so your cham doesn't get poked. Make sure your daily dusting powder doesn't have D3 in it. Too much D3...

I would say either male or female would be fine. I think that the more important factor is age. I have found that my males and females have similar temperaments. I've had males that were pissy and males that are very personable (for a cham) and I've had both in the way of females as well. I'd...

Welcome to the site! Great idea in setting everything up and then getting a chameleon. This forum is the best resource out there for chameleon owners, enthusiasts, and breeders. I wouldn't buy from a pet store. I've talked to several about buying my baby Jackson's and they don't really care...

Thank you, Aelsar. And I'm so sorry for your loss. Don't get rid of your supplies, but take a little bit to recover. I'm sure you'll be clicking through the classifieds one of these days and see a cham that calls out to you that makes you want to open your heart again. :)

Congrats on such beautiful babies!

I LOVE this video. I know it is really stupid and most people don't get it, but How to Train Your Dragon holds a special place in my heart and the music in the background of your video actually made me cry. I'm such a loser. :) But that's ok. It takes all kinds. I love your video. I can't wait...

I actually had this same situation happen to a cham I had. In case you do get another one and it happens again: I suctioned a fake plant in the shower and ran a warm shower over him for 20 minutes. I did this twice a day for a week (he was really, really dehydrated). Along with this I also would...

That's good news. I actually decided not to breed my jackson's and instead breed my panther. There were several reasons for this decision, but I'm really glad I decided that knowing that not all clutches are this heartbreaking. I have been pondering this survival issue all day and I think that...

Do you know if panthers are any better?

Do you know if panthers are any better?

I was on here today looking for information on the survival rates for Jackson neonates and saw that there's a 20% survival rate and many of them die from 1-5 months and not right after birth. Does anyone have experience if this is true? I have 14 babies alive right now that are less than a week...

Thank you for posting this thread. I wholeheartedly agree with you. I've just started breeding chams and I have countless people grill me about why I'm doing it. "Is the time, effort, and money you have to put into them going to pay off?" Monetarily, no. But it's not about the money. It's about...

I would definitely cut back the meal worms. They are like people eating Big Macs all the time. Not very good for your cham in such high quantities, more of a snack. If you are looking for a worm that could make up your staple feeding I would say silkworms. Crickets are an easy go-to and very...

Yes, I do. Too many at the moment actually. :) I have a 2 year old Blue Bar Panther, a 1 year old male Jackson's, a 1 year old female Jackson's, a 9 month old Jackson's (that I'm trying to rehome), and a dozen 3 day old Jackson's babies. Phew! Full house. And a bearded dragon to top it off :eek:

Hey everyone. Although I joined this site early in the year, I'm just starting to get involved. I'm located in Henderson, Kentucky right on the KY/IN border. I was just wanting to find people to connect with in the area :)

I was watching a documentary and a komodo took down some cow creature. It bit him and then stalked it until it was weak enough to go in for the kill. No thank you. NIMBY! :) I've seen a little bit of everything on that site though. Not sure what it real and what isn't...
