So I was totally ready to breed my 2 Jacksons today, and it almost happened. I think being able to successfully breed your pets and raise a healthy clutch is the pinnacle of chameleon care and quite an accomplishment. It's exciting, enthralling, and I really wanted it. Or so I thought.
So...
With the recent developments of my female xanth Kiwi appearing healthy and thriving, I thought I'd do an experiment and see how she responds to my 2 boys (Jax and Tiger). Normally if I introduce her to either of them, they immediately start w/the head bobbing ritual and coming closer, while she...
Just had to show off my girl Kiwi...she's looking greener than ever, plus I believe she's going through a growth spurt. She's seriously getting big!! I took these pics today, and she is definitely bigger than our 2 male xanth's. What do you guys think? I believe she's about 10 months old...
I saw this video on youtube. Seriously SMH! I just feel bad for the babies this douche had...ignorance is seriously not bliss!

I got Kiwi back in mid-August, but had no idea what I was getting into. After a few weeks, I realized she was always dark colors in her cage(which was not normal) but lightened up if I let her run around outside of it. I started a couple threads on here trying to figure out why, but to no...
I recently ordered 100 silkworms along with mulberry food. I made the mistake of leaving the silkworms in a container that ants could get into, and 75% of my silkworm population got depleted. Now I have all this mulberry food but no silkworms to feed them to, so I was thinking I can just...
The other day I was cleaning out Tiger's cage (one of my male xanth's) hoping to resolve his hunger strike. I usually let him roam out in the yard while I do this, but apparently after feeding Jax (my other male xanth), I didn't properly close the cage. So, guess who escaped??
I saw out of...
I have 3 Jacksons and I live in Hawaii. Great weather for them, however not easy to provide great variety in the feeder department (can't ship feeders to Hawaii, plus I've failed at breeding insects). Luckily, 2 of them aren't picky. One of them (Tiger) is way picky.
He used to eat a...
I've had my girl Kiwi (Jackson) for exactly 4 months now. She may have been about 2 or 3 months when I first got her, but some might say it was a minor miracle that she's still alive since I really had no idea what I was doing! I basically bought her off the side of the road and with the help...
Not the best update in the world...about 2 weeks ago I created a thread about my Kiwi, my female Jackson that's always dark colored. We've since moved her into a much larger cage (2'x2'x4') and I did the poop smear test, which came back negative (no bright red tinges). Anyways, she's still...
Can you guys help me out?? I have some Xanth's and don't have a lot of experience raising them...just wondering if someone can eyeball their approximate age for me. Thanks!
Btw, their names are Jax, Kiwi, and Tiger :-)
We have 3 jackson chameleons, 2 male and one female. They each have seperate cages and are eating/drinking just fine. However, the female seems to stay black/stressed all the time. I'm worried because I know it's detrimental to her health and we're hoping to breed them soon. The only way...
