My male jacksons loves to eat geckos. It first started when the wild geckos would come to investigate the live food I put in for my jacks. Now the geckos go for the roaches and the jacks go for the geckos.
I loved my bug napper too. You catch a lot of bugs you can't use but you also catch a lot that you can. Because I didn't know how to gut load the bugs I caught, I used them for supplimental feeding. Mostly moths and beetles. I bought an insect book to check if the insects I caught might be...
Yup, sure is! By looking at the rails in the background you should be able to find the tree that it's on. In fact all the little trees around there had Jacks when I took this pix. Not anymore though.
I have a female Jack, I've had her for 2 yrs, I'm guessing she's around 2.5 yrs.
I caught her when whe was around 3" TL, right now she's around 11".
I never intended to breed her because I didn't want to stress my Jacks and I don't know what I'd do with the babies, but now I'm wonderin if I...
The Jacks here are definetly thriving. We only looked at 4 different parks in one town. We found 12-14 jacks that were easily accessible, but on the way to each park we saw more than 32 jacks that were out of reach. Whether it be in someones yard, climbing telephone poles and power lines.

Pohchunyee... LOL! Don't read, is evil. I read some of the posts and I see your point.
Got me really curious about some of the Jacks being morphs. I have an adult male with a black spot on his lower jaw and a juvie brown phase female with a black patch around her eye. Maybe when she gets older...
Puka, you got any pics? That would be neat if it was a new morph or something. I'm startin to think they can get the black spots for a variety of reasons. Some of the causes they can live with, some not. It seems like the skin was damaged or at the least irritated. Whether it be eviromental...
Kam808, before you buy a cham. What island do you live on? There are options from W.C (wild caught), C.B (captive bred), & LTC (long term captive). Depending on what is available, C.B or LTC would probably be best. In the begining I'd expect chams to eat less in there new home. As they acclimate...
