    What kind of Jackson Chameleons are there? I know of Jacksonii, Xantholophus and Merumontana. Are these the only subspecies? What are these "Dwarf" ones I've read of? Are there any photographs that can accurately depict the differences between a xantholophus, merumontana and jacksonii? Some...

    Tricky left.

    Firstly, I want to delete this thread eventually. Perhaps the moderators could just remove this thread entirely in a week or so? It is really bothersome and depressing to just leave this morbid topic here. I just wanted to let everyone know who had been following the updates I have been posting...

    Forcing a chameleon's mouth open

    My adult male Jackson Chameleon had an impaction. After giving him some lactulose, he defecated twice, quite a large amount, so I believe the blockage has been removed. However, ten days passed since he had last ate, and he still refused to eat anything. I tried crickets which he refused, and a...

    Help with using Fluker's Repta+Boost

    My chameleon hasn't eaten in 10 days. I believe this was due to an impaction as after a veterinarian gave him some lactulose, he defecated quite a bit the following morning, and again earlier this morning. Still, he refuses to eat any crickets I show him, and after purchasing some super worms he...

    Chameleon not eating - force feeding?

    Today is the 11th day that, Tricky my jackson chameleon refuses to eat anything. It seemed he had an impaction but some lactulose helped him get rid of the blockage.

    Impaction, defecated finally, still won't eat

    After a vet visit, my Jackson Chameleon, Tricky was given lactulose by the veterinarian. She sent me home with some, saying that I should give it to him twice a day (dosage 0.05). This was because, Tricky had an impaction, and had not eaten or defecated for ten days. Earlier while he was...

    Spitting up in the night?

    After getting home from the first vet visit, Tricky seemed rather lethargic. The first thing he did was go to sleep after being given the medicine that the veterinarian gave him. After she brought him back he had his eyes closed and when he would open them, he would also gape to show lots and...

    First time giving medicine

    After a visiting a veterinarian, I was given lactulose for, Tricky. I was told to give him 0.05 twice a day, and that I would need another person to help me restrain him and force his mouth open to get him to consume it. I think I can give it to home without forcing anything. He will come up...

    Jackson Chameleon feeding schedule

    I know that any chameleon should have variety in their diet, but let's just assume one uses only crickets. How often and how much should an adult Jackson Chameleon eat? Do you feed your Jackson chameleon every other day, or every day? And how many crickets do you feed them a day? I'm sure...

    Shedding

    Yesterday, Tricky (10 months old jackson chameleon) started scratching his head with his right hind leg, and when I went to look at him, I noticed dead skin, or flakes over his eye, peeling or falling off. Looked normal for shedding, and should be about the right time for shedding as he last did...

    Drinking water from a finger

    My blue spray bottle that I use for misting and sometimes directly for giving, Tricky water to drink, broke a bit ago. Don't think it's fixable this time, so I borrowed my sister's. I was misting for over a minute, and he kept following the spray bottle, trying to get to it. See he couldn't get...
