Where to get a Jacksons Chameleon? Any tips on caring for them?

[Warrix642]

I have a few healthy panthers and a veiled and I have always like the Jackson. Where is a good place to get one? Any tips on husbandry? Will crickets gutloaded for panthers be ok for a Jackson too? I'm just tryin to find out as much as possible before I get one.

how big of jackson and what sex are you looking for ?, i have neonates available soon , and one almost adult female, please see my ads in the classifieds, forum rules frown on going into details in the discussion areas of the forum, so it may be best to pm me if interested , as far as differences in care , jax like it cooler and wetter than veileds or panthers, and i think a night drop in temps is probably more of a issue with jax as well, but the issue of jacksons care is probably too extensive to address in a single post, any feeder that is properly gutloaded for panthers or veileds will work with jax , but they do need a variety of feeders ,best advice , is just to read all of the jacksons posts you can find (especially in the health clinic sections) and feel free to post, - or pm me if you have any specific questions, but being more specific helps, please be aware that they are more sensitive to most issues than panthers or veileds , but not a big deal as long as you are aware of it and know what needs to be done

Several people on the forum have either CB or CH jacksons you just need to keep your ears and eyes open.

Yes, a gut loaded cricket is fine for your Jackson. You might want to consier other menu items for your chameleons as well, such as roaches, flies , worms.

Here is a website with more Jackson info.
