Jacksons chameleon adults????

[TimothyOnTop]

I have a six-month-old Jackson's chameleon male I have been doing lots of research myself on the species husbandry care in habits all the pictures are almost all pictures I could find are of younger sub adults I was only able to find one picture of a full-size adult male is this because they usually die young and are hard to raise to maturity in captivity I was just curious due to the lack of photos thank you in advance for your time

So... With the correct husbandry they do live long lives... They die young because they are not housed properly, not given the correct temps, and are commonly over supplemented.

Do you have any idea why there are so few pictures of full sizes adults?

You may not be looking in the right places... There are many pages just on the link I gave you that show adults... Even in the forum if you do a search properly you can pull links like this

Do you know how much he weighs?

Do you know how much he weighs?

I've had him since he was 4 months and to this day (knocks on wood), he's not had any reasons to see a vet. So no, he's never been weighed I will tell you he's never been a glutton. Just not a big eater.

Mine was 4 months old when i got him too i measure and weigh him every Wednesday to keep a log of his growth i was just curious what normal weight gain would be ballpark figure at least
