Bright colors green little guy

Indeed they did! thank you! I have heard many different things. I just wanted to make sure. The temps during the day are mid 70's to 80, and basking is around 85. I use a 5.0 uvb tube which I heard was best. He cant get any closer than about 8 inches to it. His humidity stays around 60%-70% as...

At night I turn off the uvb lamp, and leave on a 100 watt ceramic heat emitter. Mr. Chammy tends to sleep lower on the tree which is just fine. However my room never really goes below 70, and jacksons can handle temps to the mid 60's. Should/could I turn the heat off at night? or leave it on for...

Can you answer that^ question for jacksons too? also, how could a younger cham not be fine in an adult size cage?

I agree, I was hopeful. However worst case scenario; I get someone to care for him and they for whatever reason can't/don't go. After some days would my little fella have gone to cham heaven (that would be more than terrible to come home to)? What % humidity are perfect conditions for jacksons...

I consider "playful" active when it comes to chameleons. They were definitely trying to sell me but I knew what I was talking about which averted that situation. They figured out I was buying the guy because his environment was so crappy. Forever is a long time for a bruise to heal.. more...

I am new to this and am doing my best to do everything as perfect as possible for my new cham. I also have summer break just around the corner and was curious as to some tricks and experienced knowledge on how to feed them while away (besides a friend). Also, how long can jacksons go without...

very true, I can see an employee being impatient and grabbing him by his side to get him from A to B, could explain the back foot as well. He was holding on and basically ripping his foot away from its hold could have hurt him. I guess they bruise easily then huh? I would suspect so because of...

very true. I will most likely end up doing that, I just needed to hear it from someone else. Thanks!

Most of my fake plants are just fine when it comes to giving my cham water. However, one type I have tends to drip off the dye used to color it. Is this poison for my cham?! he has not drank any of this water (he drink from other leaves) I just wouldnt want him to indulge in the orange(ish)...

What can bruising be from?

well like I said, I did a lot of research, and found out the prices for the supplies would be about that of amazon (including shipping) so I decided to just go through with it. they usually charge an arm and a leg I agree, I intended to buy my first at an exotic reptile convention in Raleigh...

Good advice, better bruising than a life threatening fungus of some sort. I am new to this, so anything will make me scare easy. PetSmart has a 14 day guarantee as well as covering any vet payments if you go to them in those 14 days... Though I remember him having this same issue when I saw him...

(The picture should be vertical) Thank you for the quick response! I saw someone had posted pictures of wild caught Jacksons that had similar discoloring... perhaps it could be a birthmark?

I have done tons and tons of research expecting to buy a chameleon this weekend. Well, at the pet store today while purchasing supplies, I saw a Jackson that seemed relatively healthy for the terrible environment he was in. I felt so bad for him I wanted to give him a wonderful new home I had...
