New Jacksons Chameleon Help!

[Amateur Chameleon]

Hi everyone, just last Thursday I bought a 4 month old, male Jacksons Cham and have been caring for it ever since. I am fairly sure I am doing everything correct, but that is in my opinion because everyone has differing opinions. So there are some things that I am still not sure about.

So if anyone here owns or has owned a Jacksons Cham, please reply.

Type down your daily schedual and everything you do. For example, temp, humidity, feeders, SUPPLAMENTS, misting, and anything else that you do to make your Jacksons happy.

Please respond with what you do, any advise is appreciated.

Have you read this site's caresheets? They're very good, and will give you lots of information about how to care for your chameleon.

Here's a link to the Jackson's Chameleon caresheet:

What type of Jackson do you have? 4 months is a scary age for Jackson's in general especially if you are a first time keeper. Can you fill out the how to ask for help form? It is stickied in the health board section. I also suggest posting pictures of your entire set up and the chameleon himself.

In my opinion, Jackson's do best with an all in one vitamin like repashy calcium plus Load formula, use at most two times a week. Calcium w/o D3 dust about two to three times a week. You cage should have a gradient that drops into 65 preferably, going up to 82-83 with basking light. And pretty much everything in between. No mealworms at all preferably. But there are tons of other feeders available. Gutloaded crickets should be the main makeup of his feeders and one to two hornworms a day. I honestly think you should mist for a minimum of 4 minutes and a longer time of 8 minutes once a day. The 4 minute ones can be done 3 times a day easy. In my opinion if his body is seven inches long by itself he should be in a much larger cage. At least an 18x18x36.
