    Selling my chams..

    So im going to be moving soon and unfortunately am looking to get rid of my chameleons. I have a male veiled who is about 2 years old. Healthy and nice enough. I also have a female jackson who is about 1.5 years old. She's doing great after having some babies a few months back. And...

    Small discoloration on Jackson's leg..

    Yeah. I dont know how I would get him to not go there and bask. But to me I think, he's under the light he must be trying to warm up and he'll move when he's done. His spine does look dark but it also has shed on it and I dont wanna pull it off. Any tips on helping him get that last few...

    Small discoloration on Jackson's leg..

    I do have a digital thermometer. Ill put it under his basking spot tomorrow. Its only a 40w bulb. Surprised that would burn him. Considering that's been his setup for the past year.

    Small discoloration on Jackson's leg..

    Wondering if anyone can give some insight into what that mark may be. I feel he hasn't been himself lately. It took a while for me to get used to my jacksons not eating as much as my veiled. But lately he hasn't been eating as much as normal. It seemed like he went through two sheds almost...

    Do my jacksons look ok?

    Im no expert but have a few Jackson's myself. I would say a little dehydrated and maybe a little malnourished. Are they at least drinking now? I'd stick with plenty of water and maybe offer some fatty worms more often than just a treat for right now. Just my.02.

    Female Jackson real dark..

    Ok thanks. I was also told she might still have more. Ill see what local vets specialize in chams/ reptiles.

    Female Jackson real dark..

    So my female had 5 babies 2 weeks ago tomorrow. Prior to that she seemed to be doing well, eating drinking etc. She never moved around as much as my male though, I'm now assuming that was because she was carrying babies because after the birth she was much more active. Even about a week...

    Random question. ..

    Does anyone know what the brown stuff is at the bottom of feeder containers? Ive seen it in homework and fruit fly containers. Its got a strange smell to it. Just wondering what it is, food?

    Screen bottom

    Not true to the hanging plants. I have a screen bottom with pieces of wood attached to both sides to make a rail for pots to sit on. Works fine for me.

    Newborn jackson temps..

    Ok thanks. I don't have a basking light as of now. But right under the uvb is about 75. The warmest part of the tank.

    6 week old jackson

    Right now fruit flies. But like I said. Theyre only a few days old and were a surprise so I just grabbed the flies because I knew they were small enough. I do plan on mixing it up a little over the next few weeks. Today was the first day I dusted them. To make it easier I used a quart sized...

    6 week old jackson

    Your guess is as good as mine regarding growth rate. But good for you trying to do the right thing. Are you using any supplements? Ive always heard Jackson's don't need as much as a veiled. So I just do it once a week.

    6 week old jackson

    I can't say he's unhealthy. I find it hard to tell with their coloration at that age. Has he grown much since birth? Mine are a few days old and look about the same size. Is there only one? Was more than that born? Did you lose any? I only ask cause we had 5. And I heard normally...

    6 week old jackson

    He can't fit through the grating on top? It looks like there's a finer mesh around the base. But is the top an issue?

    Newborn jackson temps..

    So we had 5 babies this past Wednesday. Ive been doing a lot of reading and trying my best to keep them going strong. They seem to be doing good, all eating and drinking. The past two days a few of them have been hanging upside down right under the uvb light. Just wondering if they are...

    Jackson had babies, few questions.

    Well the friends are my cousin and brother. Cousin had a veiled a few years ago. And my brother used to take care of my veiled when I was living away for a while. As far as the pet shop, its not a petco or anything. Its a reptile only shop who specialize in chameleons and do their own in...

    Jackson had babies, few questions.

    Right now I started with flightless fruit flies. I have them in a small glass, screen top terrarium. I heard that that's ok while they are young. Again, this was a surprise so I kind of rushed just to get them in something. I also needed something that the food wouldn't be able to get out...

    Jackson had babies, few questions.

    I read and was told that a little prodding might provoke them to come out. But these things were fairly solid. Didn't feel or look like anything was in them. Yeah they're cool to have around. I just didn't plan on having any more chams. But I already have 2 people who want one. My cousin...

    Jackson had babies, few questions.

    So I came home yesterday to five babies. I immediately removed them from the mothers cage and went and bought a small tank. I set them up with some sticks and fake vines and a small uvb light. They all ate both yesterday afternoon and this morning. So I'm hoping they'll do well. My real...
