Jackson care Hello, noticed no one responded to your post yet. Have you looked at the caresheets yet for Jacksons? I've had my young male for about a month and a half now. He's very shy and small, but so beautiful and intriguing. I had a Fischer previously which required different care, as most...

I forgot all about bb flies! I'll probably take a look at that site too. Mantids scare me, but I think I'd rather try that than dubias. I'm not that brave lol.

This seems like a great approach. I have read similar approaches, but not really with any detail as how to go about it. The first cham I had was Fischer, and he seemed to get used to us quickly without too much effort. It may have helped that he was free range though. My current Jackson is...

Hello. As for the dusting portion of your question, the care sheet I was referred to view is https://www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/hoj/634-montane-chameleon-care-info.html His blog contains different dusting options, many references will state that supplementing Jackson's can be tricky as we...

Have you tried superworms? My jackson, Drake, seems to favor them over anything. I usually have them climb on the walls of his screen cage, and he'll zap 'em. There are also silk worms, but unfortunately Drake only ate a couple. User Pigglett79 has very useful guides on how to breed/care for...

Thanks very much for that thread it was very helpful. I think we just thought he was younger because he is so tiny compared to our last cham. I think his subspecies may just be a merumontanus. But we're not sure.

Yes thank you :) checked a lot of resources on here and other resources for their particular supplementation

Phew! That's comforting lol. He's at least moving around alot more in there now. Hopefully he'll be settled in soon enough! :)

Thanks! I think mostly right now we're just concerned (but trying to not to stress too much) over his appetite. He seems a little on the skinny side, but then again he is younger than our last was when we first got him. Like 3 to 4 months I think is what Drake is. I just hope he fattens up a...

Hello and thank you! I have PMed Pigglett79 as I forgot she responded to one of my previous threads, and let me know she was local as well. Thanks for letting me know about Pet Frontier. It has been quite awhile since I visited there! Maybe someday I'll be able to handle dubias/hissers lol...

Hello all! I have had my young male Jackson's cham (Drake), for a week and a half now. We haven't seen him eat too much, I guess he's still a little shy. But, upon observance he seems to be healthy enough. We are regularly dusting his crickets with calcium w/o D3 and. So far we have only fed...

Thank you! Yes he is super shy. Okay that is comforting to know :), as I couldn't really remember how my first cham acted when I first got him lol. I will definitely read that caresheet, for some more info. Thank you everyone again! :)

Thanks guys :) do they usually eat every day? I only saw him eat once hopefully he did eat some food and those crickets weren't just hiding.

Thanks that's awesome, I'll definitely let you know if I need some! I'll keep monitoring his behavior. So far, I guess he hasn't done anything too out of the ordinary, besides what I mentioned. :)

Thanks! I will definitely try doing that more too. I have just been goin in to check on him from a distance and just mist him a bit. I ended up putting a dish up in his branches with a superworm in case he can't find the crickets. He is so tiny ( I forgot to mention), compared to the fischer...

Hello! thanks for the reply :) cool, yes I did do alot of research before getting him. I used this https://www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/hoj/634-montane-chameleon-care-info.html blog, as well as other care sheets, and fellow cham forum threads.

Hello all, I am preparing to buy a juvenile male Jackson's Cham, and would like to know of any good brands for a digital hygrometer? I have read info on various sites saying that digital ones are the best choice. Does anyone have any advice? On a similar matter I am looking to get an infrared...

Thank you Lovereps, Sandrachameleon, and Psychobunny for the great info. :D I feel more confident now in providing a nice home in the future for a Jackson's cham. I can't wait till I get the money for it lol. I've been gathering all of this helpful info (along with other web resources) and am...
