well, ill be hopefully buyin my chameleon in a few weeks 4 to be precise.. it should be about 2 months or so in 4-6 weeks. im purchasing the chameleon rather young i have concerns since its so small.
it is a jackson i believe of the xantholophus, or jacksonii variety, they already have the small ocular horn buds, nose horn buds.
1. im mainly concerned about what i read that they are tough to keep alive past 7 months, or at least they do poorly?
2. i purchased a smaller cage while its still small, the basic r-zilla 18" x 12" 20"
mesh enclosure, and i have r-zilla vines and cleaned eucalyptus branches. along with a hanging pothos plant. is the eucalyptus a OK tree? ive used them for other reptiles with no problems.
3. i was going to puchase a mister system, which one is good prolly going to go with mistking, but the timer i have won't do mist cycles for just a few seconds, smallest incriment is 1 min , is this ok? for every hour? *minus 6 hours from 12:00 midnight to 6:00AM? will this be to much i guess is what im asking, like over water/cool his temperature? what would be better incriments?
4. ive searched for what gravid is, but with no luck, what is it and how can i detect/avoid that problem.
5. the jackson is by far my favorite variety of chameleon, but can anyone convince me to go with the more common vieled chameleon?
