That sounds right
. Do you see any mucus in his nostrils or excess saliva. Could be developing a RI. Other than that I don't know. I don't know much about Jackson's . Sorry

she seems to be staying in her basking area, which is a small area a lot. So i turned off the basking and turned down the ac hoping to cool her down, i also misted her for a few seconds. she seems to be better now not sure why she is hanging out in her basking spot little strange for her species! No mucus or extra saliva !

Not trying to cause panic, but just to bring to your attention, I have read a few posts of some knowledgable people lately claiming that gaping and spending a lot of time under a basking light are early signs of a RI.

I have no idea. Try PMing others that own this species of cham or ones very similar. I know Solid Snake and ActionJackson has some. Try asking them your questions; it may be something that really pretains to Jacksons rather than chams in general.

she is eating and drinking fine. Acting normal, she roaming her cage now and i even got her out for a sec and she climbed right onto my thumb. just spends most of her time on the heat side not the humidifier mistking nozzle side which is where she spent 90% of her time before!
