Hello,
I have raised and been into Veiled Chameleons for 3 years now with my male being 3 and having him since a month old and now having a female I bought last year who is doing wonderful. I am now embracing the world of Jacksons. I am picking up (2) 2 month old baby jacksons this weekend. I have read up on them and how they differ from veiled, but was wondering from some experienced Jackson keepers what are the best tip/s you can give in keeping these amazing chams from your personal experiences? Any info is appreciated. Thank You :)
 
At two months old you are still in the danger zone.
Jackson's babies will drop dead for no reason ... the 5 month mark seems to be what you shoot for, after that all should be well.
I have raised them (one time) with success from 3 weeks old.
All screen enclosure, big live plant, at least two mistings a day and free range crickets.
Obviously UVB and a basking light at a very low wattage, I didn't use any at all (basking light) until 4 to 5 months old, but I think I will change that next time and use one that is maybe 25 to 40 watts.
They do love to bask.
Good Luck!
