Sometimes they will 'freak out' when you move them to a new cage. She will eventually get use to it. If she did eat then just be patient. Just give her some privacy and at the same time, keep an eye on how many feeders you put into her cage and make sure she is eating some of them. You can...
Baby Veileds are sometimes born with a purple hue to them. It will disappear with age, but it's pretty common I believe. I wish they would keep some of it, but it will fade. I don't think that there is anything wrong.
Here is a video of some I hatched last year that had a majority of...
I just free range fed my Jacksons clutch. They won't really start to eat until 2-4 days out. Some will eat sooner than others. As ataraxia mentioned, if you cup feed, a couple of small twigs over the cup will give then access from above. I used a cool mist ultrasonic humidifier for my babies...
36"x18"x18" is the minimum cage I would use for a Jacksons, but 48"x24"x24" would be easier to create your different temperature zones. I use scheffleras as well. Pothos vines are also attractive.
Listen to Solid Snake; I'd lose the 10.0 UVB and go with the 5.0. Be very sparing on the Sticky Tongue Farms calcium. I only sprinkle a very small amount of the outdoor formula with no D-3 about once every 2 weeks or so, and you should only give the indoor D-3 type once every 6 weeks and you...
I believe it is illegal in the U.K., but not the U.S. It varies from state to state i believe. As far as breeding anoles simply for feeders, you got your work cut out for you. You'd be better off just collecting. But then you run the risk of parasites.
Hello fellow Jacksons keeper. I have my Jacksons outside right now, but I was just talking to the wife today about how I thought it might be getting ready for them to come inside. I'm in central Alabama and the temps here have just started to kick into high gear. It has been upper 80'sF until...
They start to drop feeding frequently at about this time. My male only eats a few feeders a week and is otherwise doing great. By the way, Monty is looking great himself. I see your updates on Photobucket and you've done a great job with him. He's a lucky guy!
Jacksons have always been regarded as a cool temperature species, and for the most part this is correct. I have found lately that they are a lot more tolerant than I had previously thought. I have a couple of Jacksons that I have been keeping outdoors now for the entire first part of this...
She just split it, right there on the upper right part. I didn't give her enough time to do the 'Death Roll' and pull a chunk or flap. I must say, they power was just a little more than I expected.
Very nice Jackson. I'm bad about judging Jacksons on 3-4 different criteria, and horns are obviously one of them. Your's looks almost perfect- The straighter the better. He looks really great, your very lucky!!
It has been proven that this subspecies is not a subspecies at all, but rather a hybrid between Chamaeleo calyptratus , Veiled chameleon and Chamaeleo arabicus, the Arabian chameleon.
