    New Jackson chameleon died looking for advice.

    Not really much of an issue, basically at room temperature right now. The room never falls under 70° unless I turn the AC on, the enclosure is located on the Upper Floor so stays decently warm. The misting system seems to do well but I have yet to hit 100% humidity at night time the highest I've...

    New Jackson chameleon died looking for advice.

    Thank you for the helpful information I will definitely check out the videos of handling. I had a veiled chameleon a decade ago and that's the approach I pretty much did was allow them to choose if they wanted to crawl up on me while I was messing around in their enclosure and left it up to them...

    Yes I definitely wasn't planning on forcing them to be my friend or anything lol I had a veiled chameleon years ago and I basically did the same approach if they wanted to crawl up on my hand or my arm it was up to them and never against their will. I just want to make sure I'm getting all the...

    New Jackson chameleon died looking for advice.

    Thanks for the information, I already went ahead and took it apart and replaced everything yesterday. Right now I'm trying to figure out the ventilation issue as I do want to keep this set up and make it work. I honestly don't use much social media and I don't even have a Facebook LOL but I'm...

    I will definitely put more plants in there I'm going to put at least two more pathos, unless you recommend something else. I just don't want to overcrowd and cause any issues with the other plants in there. And yeah there's just a lot of mixed information out there about everything including...

    Thank you! I'm glad there are some good improvements. I will definitely check out the other sources and the sponsors for the different food. Hopefully I hear back from the manufacturer and it'll be easy for the ventilation if not I'll make a plan b.

    New Jackson chameleon died looking for advice.

    I read the guide and I had already added everything but the drainage level, I never added lava rocks or separation, but I do have the jungle mix soil and Moss and the other mixtures as well as the leaf litter and the isopods and springtails. So I will change it all out and put lava rocks on the...

    New Jackson chameleon died looking for advice.

    Thank you I looked up the dracana or Dragon Tree or whatever the many names, and it says it induces vomiting if the leaves are digested. Lol it's so difficult to find things with so much difference of opinion on what's safe and what's not. But everything recommends pathos, that's the main reason...

I'm reading all kinds of different people's experiences with different plants online and...

    New Jackson chameleon died looking for advice.

    Before I purchased I did the research on the temperature, most of the things I was reading said low to mid 80s during the day in the hotspot, the thermometer is behind where basking light sits, so I imagine it would be a bit cooler everywhere else, also in the 70s at night, the humidity at night...

    He was definitely basking in the 75 W even at that temperature. But yeah I'd say the room stays about 70ish.

    I'll look into some better plants for shade, Is a 75watt for basking, ok? is 100watt to much? Its 85.6 with 80 Humidity right now 5pm in the day. I tried to get information from Underground before I purchased and explained my setup and they said it was perfect and then again after contacting...

    New Jackson chameleon died looking for advice.

    They told me they bred them locally so I don't know. Is there a way for me to tell if it had parasites? I would like to preserve the plants and the isopods I didn't want to have to destroy everything else but if I have to. You're saying I should get a ficus for more shade, I bought the ivy...
