My husband works for petsmart. About a week ago one of their Jackson Chameleons gave birth to somewhere around 6 babies. At petsmart if one their animals has babies they are not allowed to sell them... but the employees can adopt them out. Well a few of the employees took all but 2 of the babies over the last couple days. Well... all of the ones that were taken died and one of the ones left over died as well. So that leaves one left... I told hubby to go ahead and bring it home and well see what we can do to keep him alive.

We have had veiled chameleons in the past, but never babies.

Any tips that you would suggest? I remember reading somewhere that jacksons prefer cooler temperatures than others? What temp should be strive for? Pinhead crickets and flightless fruit flys are ok for food? What types of lighting do you suggest? Any other suggestions or advice? I know this probably wont be the easiest pet to take care of but Id figure wed give him a chance. :) Thanks in advance.
