see red within quote. the cage you are looking at LLL is fine for a young or even juvi jacksons
Cage:adults 24x24x48' SCREEN cage lots of rope, vines and live plants if you can. live plants will help with the humidity. make sure you cover the soil with screen. put cage as high up in the room as you can. not near any vents, fans or windows.
Lighting: 5.0 reptisun or reptiglo linear tube (length depends on cage size)/house hold bulb for basking. the house bulb watt will depend on how far your nearest branch is from the light and your ambient room temps.
***change bulbs every 6 months.
Temps: basking temp around 78* / ambient temps 72* measure by digital guages. if you can 60's* night time.
Hydration: manual spray 2-5 minutes/2-3 times a day. provide a dripper. depending where you live and mechanicals within the home. you may need to provide a cool mist or humidifier.
Feeders: gutload (24 hours before feeding) with fresh veggies and fruits, repashy's gutload, sticky tongue farms etc.. Crickets, mealworms, silkworms, hornworms, dubai roaches, reptiworms, BB flies.

i am ordering a new supplement and giving it a shot. the guy knows his stuff and i feel confident it will be beneficial ot the care of my chameleons. allen repashy has suggested that we use this product every other feeding or 2 on and 1 off for montanes. again i have not personally tested this product out.

currently i use repcal phos free plain calcium every other feeding or 2 on and 1 off. i supplement reptivite twice a month.
i also make my own gut load and if you want a list of ingredients let me know. i basically use a lot of info from sandrachameleons blogs to make it.

if your wanting a reptarium for an adult i would get the 175 gallon.
http://lllreptile.com/store/catalog...nd-explorariums/-/175-gallon-basic-reptarium/
for the price i would get the metal. chameleons arent a cheap proposition. changing bulbs every six months, going through hand mister like crazy, feeders, food for the feeders, baskig bulbs, etc your going to be spending a bunch of money. its the chameleon way of life

Exactly! Chams arent too cheap, but they are fun to have and take care of.

I have read the for a female jacksons cham, you can have 24x24x36 tank or so... what to believe
What do you use?
Those are probably fine, I just never have used the reptariums. Thought about some for outdoor use. They have darker mesh I use the standard metal screen cages from LLL Reptile. I also have a few of the Zoo Med Reptibreeze screen enclosures and exo terra screened enclosures. I like LLL's the best for now. I want to get some from DIYcages next time though.
