Your Chameleon - 3 year old female jackson. I've had her for 2 years. Handling - Hardly ever. I did handle her a week ago to take her outside on a 75 degree day for fresh air and sun time in her outdoor ficus. Feeding - She receives 6-10 crickets every other day. The amount depends on how...

It's finally happened! My Jackson has come out of her enclosure all on her very own. There were times when I thought she'd never come out. When I first got her she was so incredibly shy she barely moved even inside her enclosure. But after six months of working with her she's finally become...

I have an eight month old jackson and am looking to introduce new feeders to her diet. Does anyone have experience feeding praying mantis to jacksons?

This may seem like a dumb question, but how do you feed your cham dubias? I gave my cham a couple last week from a cup, but was wondering if dubias can be put into the enclosure like crickets so that the cham can hunt them. Or is it better to keep giving dubias to her via a cup?

I know every cham is different and for my cham there is such a thing as too many plants in her enclosure. I followed the advice of many and hung a pothos from the top of her enclosure to give her more areas to hide, in addition to the two plants I already had - a small ficus on the bottom and...

For those of you familiar with MBD, are the malformations in this chameleon's front left leg a sign of MBD?

So, I had Lola outside today for a little natural sun. She's crawling around her jade plant when all of a sudden a fly lands on one of the leaves and before I could swat it away she'd shot her tongue out and gotten it. I've heard all the bad possibilities that can come with eating wild...

If your cham started out in a cage and had never free-ranged, how long did it take your cham to feel comfortable enough to leave their enclosure? How did you help them to feel more at ease?

Many on the threads have more than one cham. I'm just curious...How soon after getting your first chameleon did you add to your collection and get a second, third, etc?

Should a Jackson be a certain age before feeding them snails? Mine is about seven or eight months old. And I know snails can be raised, but if you wanted to buy them are there any online providers you recommend?

For those of you with Jacksons, do you have some sort of watering/humidity device going off 24/7 or do you allow time for the enclosure to dry out? I've been keeping a cool mist humidifier and a little dripper going all day in my Jackson's enclosure and I hand mist her (even though she hates it)...

Has anyone ever observed their Jackson eating the live vegetation in their enclosure?

I will be buying a Mist King very soon, but until then I've been regularly hand misting and my female Jackson seems to very much dislike it. I use room temperature water or water that is slightly warmer than room temp, and I spray from a distance and above so that it's more natural and not right...

Just had to share pics of my girl Lola, a 7 month old jackson. I've had her two weeks and she's my very first cham.

I have wanted a chameleon for many years and when the opportunity came around for me to adopt one from a CraigsList posting I went straight to the internet for information. And I have to say, this forum was so extremely helpful in preparing for my new arrival. I adopted my 6-8 month old...

I purchased my six month old female Jackson from someone that didn't have time for her and she came with a coiled UVB bulb. I see a lot of posts out there about how the coiled UVB bulbs are bad for reptiles, but these posts are also five years old or older. Have there been changes in the coiled...

I have an 8 month old Jackson's and am looking to buy crickets cheaper than they are at the local pet store. Does anyone have recommendations for where to get them online or how many to get at a time? I don't want to buy a bunch and then have a lot of dead crickets laying around. I do have...
