Hello, I can't find much info online regarding baby jackson's; I've set up the same enclosure that I used for my baby veileds and was wondering if it was okay for the new one? Large screen enclosure with ficus plant inside. Currently, I have one rep5.0 UVB. The ficus is pretty dense and he...

I just noticed yesterday that when my Male Jackson's is basking he sets his whole body on the branch and lays his chin down. He is still awake and looking around and he eats like a horse, but I see the pictures of others basking and the chams seem to be standing up. Is my guy just lazy? His...
