:)Hello and welcome to the forums. It would be best if you could post in the Health clinic forum. You have listed several already but, copy and paste the questionnaire below and add your answers with as much detail as possible. It will also help if you could include pics of cham and enclosure

maybe shes still ajusting give her some space and let her get used to her new home?? is the lights on a timer they need 12hrs on and12 hrs off...i dont think you need the black light...hope her gets better:confused:
you need a screened cage for air..they can get infections from to damp of a cage unless your in very cold place
 
welcome!
Shes probably still settling in, so stop handling her for now.
Some chams wont eat very well for a few days after they get a new environment.
get that screen cage asap for her.
NO LIGHT AT NIGHT! they like temp drops, and can handle temps down into the 50's.
water water and more water, jacksons love water.
for supplements, you need a calcium without d3 for once or twice a week, a calcium with d3 for once a month, and a multivitamin for once a month to once every 6 weeks.
jacksons are very susceptable to over supplementation.
also, they dont eat as much food as panthers and veileds do.


And stop making multiple threads on the same subject. it makes it hard for people to keep track. if you post a thread, and no one responds, just post a reply in the thread to bump it up again.

yeah im home now and she seems a lil depressed she is green and brown so something is wrong i really need a new cage
 
You can always pick up a reptibreeze at petco or petsmart. Also a bird cage with narrow slits can work as well.
 
I love my reptarium. One thing I do suggest: build a bit of support in addition to the PVC frame. You can find this stuff:

at most garden supply places. Run a few pieces in each direction on the top, on the sides, on the back. That will give you places to hang plants, feeder cups, attach vines and stuff.

I can use zip ties
 
If you buy a Reptarium, then you don't have a lot of place to put zip ties. If you go with a metal screen cage, yes, zip ties work great.
