Hello,
I have experience keeping panther chameleons, and currently have 5 in my classroom (high school biology). I want to get a pair of jackson's to add to the classroom and have a few questions.
Would an adult male be comfortable in an 18'' x 18'' x 36'' cage? What if it is a jacksonii jacksonii?
I use arcadia 6% T5 bulbs, is that too much? There will be plenty of plants and shaded areas where they could get out of the uvb.
As far as supplementation, is this pretty standard, "Use calcium (without D3 or phosphorus) twice a week, a multivitamin once a month, and calcium with D3 once a month."
Can any Jackson's keepers recommend vitamin brands/share their schedule?
I am leaning towards getting a pair of jacksonii jacksonii if I can find a nice captive bred pair. Does anyone know any jacksonii jacksonii breeders?
Thank you!
