Is this ok?
Food:
-feed crickets twice a day
-feed mealworms 3 times a week
- coat crickets in calcium supplement 3 times a week

Water:
- make sure automatic mister is full

Cleaning:
- once a week clean cage the cage by removing newspaper at the bottom and replacing with new, and wiping down plants

Other:
- turn basking light on during day
- turn it off at night
 
I would try to vary the diet more, mealworms aren't all that good, and don't wiggle much either! See the caresheets for jackson's that are here on the forums. Try to get some dubias, they are easy to breed in your own home,mand don't smell or anything. Also, they are good nutritionally.
You can also feed moths, that are around in the home now it's warm, silkworms if you can get them, flies, hornworms,,butterworms occasionally.
A varied diet is best.
Hope this helps!

You can get your Jackson to eat crickets twice a day? Mine only eat mostly every other day and usually only one superworm, or cockaroach, or maybe two crickets. My female has been eating more than that lately but she just gave birth.:confused:
