I am able to get my cham to eat mealworms by hanging a plastic cup with holes in it from the ceiling of his cage.
As the worms dangle he sees them and snatches them up. But a lot of them end up on the floor of the cage...
Any possible solutions??
I've never seen seen my Jackson with this color on him before. Normally, he's only green and black. I noticed the spot of color after I finished holding him.
It's a little hard to tell from the pictures but it's kind of a bluish grey color. Is this normal?
Thanks in advance.
It's starting to get cooler where I live and up until now the basking temperatures have been fine (85°F during the day and 65-70°F at night).
But now the basking temps are about 80° during most of the day and closer to 60° at night. And since winter is just starting I can assume these...
The heat bulb I had for my Jackson's enclosure burned out yesterday so I just replaced it with a regular 100 watt household bulb.
The temperatures look good and I know a lot of people use regular bulbs but I want to know if there is any real difference between the two bulbs.
I have not fed at a consistent time in the day since I've had my chameleon.
Would it be beneficial to do feed at a specific time every day?
Also, I've heard that most people feed in the morning so they can soak up the uvb rays to help with digestion. So I do try to feed in the morning when...
I have noticed that my Jackson's goes has gone to sleep around 7:30-8:00 a couple of times. I have the lights on a timer from 7:00am to 9:00pm, should I change this?
Thanks in advance :D
I had not filled this out yet and I saw someone else just did theirs so here it goes...
Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - Jackson's, male, about 9-10 months (best guess). I've had him for 3 weeks.
Handling - I take him out about twice a week and let him outside for a bit too.
Feeding...
At first he seemed a bit scared but he lightened up and started exploring! I decided to bring Tiberius inside when he started getting a little high in the tree :rolleyes:
I have read these should be replaced every six months as they start to lose their effectiveness. Would keeping them nine months to a year be okay?
Also, these bulbs are a bit pricy in my local pet stores. Any alternatives or cheaper places to look for them???
Thanks a bunch :D
My cham hasn't eaten out of the cup I have placed among his vines. I tried both crickets and mealworms but to no avail.
Also, I want to try handfeeding to get him more used to me and my presence. Any advice on that front?
(Sorry for the pictures being both rather large and a kind of blurry)
This was where he was buried...
My first repillian friend...
He may not have always been the most friendly but he was still my buddy.
Rest In Peace Reptar...
I am mainly feeding my little chameleon buddy crickets and at 11 cents a pop the price starts to add up.
So I was wondering where the best place to buy them in bulk would be and how many I should buy and any other info would be greatly appreciated.
I am planning on keeping them in a 10gal...
My local Petsmart has heated vines on sale right now and I was wondering if it would be beneficial for my Jackson's.
He is about 8-9 months old and the temperatures vary in his enclosure depending on weather my parents have the cooler on or not. But, the temps generally stay about 75-80° 10"...
It has been about two days since he started shedding and he still has dead skin on the top of his head and at the base of his tail. How long does it take for a chameleon to finish shedding? And is there anything besides misting him that I could do to help him out?
Also, I have read that you...
For those of you who are interested, this has proven to be quite a good combination.
I am enjoying all of the pictures of everyone's beautiful chameleons.
P.S. Working in a fast food joint kinda blows...
I just got my Jackson's Chameleon yesterday and named him Tiberius. The temperature in the enclosure is about 75° 10" away from the heat lamp. The humidity is about 55 but goes up to around 70 when I mist. Are these ranges good for him?
Also, I have a dripper that I want to set up but the...
