Hey guys, I am going on about a week now with my new ~1 year old Jackson's cham. and I am monitoring his behavior, which appears to vary. He is hanging out in the dark, bottom side of his ficus right now, which I am curious about. He has a cool moist spot near the fogger on one side of the cage, maintains 72-74 degrees, and he has his basking area on the other side which stays around 79-81 degrees. He always starts off the morning with food and water, its like clock work. I turn on the light, he crawls up to the dripper, I drip about 10 drops into his open mouth, then he munches a cricket. This morning he munched 1 large cricket, out of the bottom of the plant, and accidently swallowed some dirt/mulch stuff, but it didnt seem to phase him (should i be worried about that?), then i hand fed him a dusted, gut loaded meal worm from my hand. He is usually hanging upside down somewhere, or cruising back and forth between his fogger area and his basking spot, its 3:45pm right now, so maybe hes turning in for bed an hour early? He got used to the lighting schedual very quickly, cuz he usually goes to bed about 30 minutes before god (me) turns out the lights. anything here seem out of place? im probly just paranoid. He look really healthy and acts really healthy. Oh by the way, i forgot about a can of mealworms that i had next to my uromastyx cage, i thought it was an old empty one, and when i opened it up after discovering it had weight to it, BEETLES!!! looks like i have toppings for tonights home made pizza!!!
