All controversy aside I may have a solution.
Hi ChamNoobs! Believe it or not someone else lives in Brampton who keeps chameleons. Give me a PM when you are thinking about going on vacation and I will keep an eye on your baby (if that's okay with your folks):D
Steamy thread!
Niiiiice panther!
How about some pics of his enclosure (to see if he is just exploring or escaping):p
I can't wait for the good weather here in Toronto so my guys can catch some rays (and ME TOO!)
Welcome to the forum.
Just checked out a few of your songs on youtube (H-Bomb Queen, Train wreck etc) Sweet sounds!
Makes me want to plug in my '67 fretless Precission and forget I turned 54 2 days ago.:mad:
Let us know if you guys make your way to Canada any time soon.
Happy keeping!
Hi Hilikus
Jax are a little bit trickier to keep alive than Veileds, especially the young-uns.
How old is this juvi?
Are you keeping her basically the same as your Veiled?
Temps and humidity are considerably different for mountain species. What are the ambient/basking temps and where...
Are you SURE she isn't eating (they can be pretty shy sometimes) Pendergast finger feeds, but Skeeta hasn't been seen eating in months!
Maybe get a fecal done, but in the mean-time post a few pics so Trace, Eisentrauti and Brad can have a good look. (no point in guessing what's wrong)
Good...
If I take her outside to sun, and patiently drip water from my spray gun on her nose, Skeeta WILL drink for me. Other than that I haven't really seen her drink (or eat for that matter) in nearly 3 years.
Pendergast, on the other-hand, eats from tweezers easily.
As long as they are healthy...
Niiiiiice babies!:D
Congrats on the Jax! You seem to like the thankless toil keeping Chameleons entails.:rolleyes:
Here's a site with lots of info on big and little Jacksons.

It helped me out plenty.
Good luck and good keeping!

They've got several species of chams (including pygs) and ship in Ontario.
Never dealt with 'em but worth a peek at least.
Good luck on your hunt!
Oh my God, a J. Jacksonii party!!
If only I lived in the states I could start begging now, and by the time they're old enough ... wait a minute. My daughter just moved to upstate New York ... hmmmmmmm, if she wears a leafy jacket when she visits for Canadian Thanksgiving, I'll bet the border...
I use the old 5.0s when I replace our Jackson's lights. (waste not want not)
Use your imagination when building the screen top. Just make sure there aren't big gaps the feeders (or pygmys themselves) can escape through. I lost one a few months ago and thought he was a goner ... but found him...
You could also consider either buying or building a "screen-top" for your aquarium, thus giving the cute little b*st*rds double the space and more potential for airflow. I built a couple (sort of trailer-park style) and Brad R. bought the luxury condo style, and both of us seem to be enjoying...
