Help My Jackson chameleon just gave birth

[AngieNY]

How do I care fr the babies. Should I separate from mom?

 

[camimom]

YEs seperate from mom asap!

Get into tiny cages.
feed fruit flies, micro crickets. anything tiny tiny tiny.

water. lots of it.

 

[AngieNY]

Can I keep the babies (4) together for now or should they be in separate cages? And how big or small should the cage be if I need to put each one separate? dimensions of cage for appropriate living.

 

[camimom]

you can keep them together for the first couple months.

i would do the smallest reptibreeze you can get. and some foliage, but not a huge amount, so they can find their food.


what will you do with the babies later? sell/keep etc?

*nothing to add but hoping the NY in your username refers to New York because I NEED A BABY CHAMELEON OR 12!!!!*

I'm also happy to help out if you're stuck? *so broody*

I would need to sell probably cuz I can care for max 2 chameleons I think. Where can I sell them and how old can I sell them?

 

[camimom]

You can sell them here. and i would wait till at least 3 months old.

where are you located?

 

[Trillian]

You should sell them to me, and I will love them and I will call them Squishy and they will be my Squishy...

Congrats!!! Water and low temps are key to raising baby Jacksons. Temps no higher than 80 in the hottest part of the cage will be plenty. I kept mine at about 78 at the hottest part of the cage. They prefer cooler more humid environments. At this age, keeping them well hydrated is just as, if not more, important than food.

Camimom, I'm in the NY-NJ area.

[Trillian]

If you got a female, I'm a buyer ...

Love how you just wanted help feeding and caring for the babies, now we've already allocated them for you...

I'm in Westchester, so no shipping concerns....

How are they doing? Get some small feeders?
