I just bought a Jackson yesterday, a male. I have a Reptibreeze mesh cage 18x18x36. I have a 5.0 reptsun UVB and and a 60 basking light. I have lots of plastic plants wrapped around twisting vines as well as wood branches purchased at a pet store. I would post a pic, but keep trying and it doesn't work.
I have been hand misting several times a day. Where I purchased the Cham they said although it's unusal this Cham drinks from th dish everday. I put a dish in there as well.
I keep the light on at leats 14 hours and shut both of at night. Some say not to leave the basking light on for Jacksons...not sure. I live in NJ.
He is eating crickets that are loose in the cage that are dusted with calcium. I've handled him once and he actually turns a nice green when he is on my hand and then goes dark with dark spots in the cage. as you can see, he is my avatar. I've read soooo much about different insects and greens to feed Jacksons, seems crickets are the staple. My only experience with lizards is with my Crested Gecko, totally different, as we all know.
Any advice will be appreciated. Thank you.
