Never mind she is sleeping and is very green in the bushes =)

Yes, when they sleep, they get very relaxed and will display some of their best colors ever! Try not to disturb her tonight and don't be alarmed if she turns brown again tomorrow on you when she is awake!!!! It doesn't mean anything is wrong!!!

yea feeding my crickets wiht cornflakes, carrots but cutted really small and green roman lettuce small

Not sure on the cornflakes, as they contain processed sugar! I would stick with fresh fruits and veggies, such as Kale, Collard Greens, Mustard Greens, carrots, apples, oranges, melons, squash, sweet peppers etc.

cornflakes but plain for the diet and lettuce and carrots but if cornflakes are bad then i wont put them again =) ill put fruits then and one of the crickets shed its skin =) thnks for the help guys i will post on this topic every now and then add me btw

we cannot see the pic! If you want to get another cage down the line you can order from LLLReptile. Go on their website. They have plenty of cages to choose from!

 

[jacksonii chameleo]

how i put so you guys can see thet pic?

 

[carol5208]

did you try attaching from the little paper clip? I am not sure what you did. If that will not work you can go to Photobucket.com(that is what I use) and download your pic and then copy and paste it to your post. It works and it is free!!!

 

[jacksonii chameleo]

[jacksonii chameleo]

[carol5208]

Cage look pretty good from what I can see. what wattage bulb are you using in the dome for basking?

 

[jacksonii chameleo]

for the heat bulb its 60 watts sun glo bulb and for the uvb its 5.0 and the type of dome is the controlable light one were you can swicth it to more light or less i bought becouse i was scared in not to control the temp and i have to use a night bulb becouse in kendall were iam its darn cold so it gets 60 less degrres in the area somtimes but i have a night glo 50 watt bulb and i put the light low so it doesnt be so much heat so the temp i right now i checked is 68 degrees its ok =)

 

[jacksonii chameleo]

Of course I will add you as a friend! Victoria is a beautiful name!

 

[carol5208]

If you want to add someone as a friend, just click on their name. A box will show up with some options. It will ask you if you want to add that person as a contact. click on that, and then it will ask you if you want to add that person as a friend.

 

[carol5208]

Check your basking temp. It should be around 75 degrees for a Jackson. They like it cooler than other chams. The 60 watt bulb may be too hot! Try a 40 watt to adjust the temp or you could try raising the light higher above the cage to achieve the desired temperature of 75. Oops! Edit, I forgot you have a veiled! Basking should be around 80-82. A 60 watt probably is gonna be too much still.

 

[jacksonii chameleo]

ive read it should be 85-95 for bask and 75-80 for habitat temp and on the day the basking spot i have is 85-84 never gets higher then that and the temp is 78 to 79 somtimes 80 but gets down to 79 and for night i have it 68 right now but it gets lower till 66

 

[carol5208]

The basking spot of adults yes, not babies. Your is only 4 months old so you want to keep it around 80 or so. I do not own a Veild but I want you to read this link from one of our members who really knows her stuff.
https://www.chameleonforums.com/blo...-keepers-young-veiled-panther-chameleons.html I mean no one can tell you what to do with your chameleon, but is sometimes wise to follow people who have the experience. Just trying to get you off on the right foot here.

 

[jacksonii chameleo]
