Show a pic, I might be able to help. Check humidity, floor temp, he may be about to shed, it may be supplementation, or even parasites.

If its the chameleon in your avatar, it is a male .
Handling - when ever he waits in front of the cage and lunges onyo my finger when the cage is opened
This is odd for a jackson.
Feeding - crickets about 5-6 in the morning
Supplements - Exo tetrra multi vit and calcium with d3 1nc every 6weeks and plain calcium on 2-3 feeders a week
Watering - i have a dripper dripping from a tube and i just this minut saw him lap a great amount of water he does that atleast once a day
Fecal Description - droppings look normal like reptiles poop should look
Could you describe it please
History - nothing much he just looks awesome and climbs to font of cage and stares at anybody that passes

Lighting - 10.0uvb tube light and a 150watt basking bulb... Uvb is on 12 hours and basking bulb is on till night
A 150w bulb should put out an insane amount of heat. Most use lower, I use a 40-60w. That said, I have no way of knowing how much heat its actually giving off.
Temperature - at night room temperature and morning around 75-80 at the hottest
Those are ambient temps? What about in the basking area? What are you measuring them with?
Humidity - 70-90 humidity on the wet side and i spray to keep it like that
How many times do you mist a day? You should mist the entire enclosure down, at least three times. Including the animal(not directly in the face or anything, but "rain" him a bit. They get rained on in the wild, its good for them to clean their eyes, and for drinking, and good for their skin, so make sure you are doing that )
Plants - umbrella plant
Placement - in my room about 5 feet off the ground at the enterance of the door
Location - Where are you geographically located?

Im not sure what , "Babbsssjsnnznxggsbbdijdojsbvs" is


I think its likely your temps are to high.

Could you describe how you have the basking area set up?

Like, what type of fixture, and how far away it is from the enclosure? The actual basking branch?

Are there other branches/vines in the cage, along with the shefflera?

Pictures of him and the setup would really help if you can get them

Is there any other behavior you have noticed, that seems odd? Anything at all?

 

[melonman]

Ya there's branches other than what I described hes normal another problem is hell eat what ever he would have ate later on during the day.... is it bad

Thats not bad, if hes eating them at his own pace, and free will.

He looks healthy to me, maybe a tad on the skinny side, but not malnourished.

Getting a fecal would be a great idea.(its always a great idea)

Temps are important with these guys, you dont want to overheat them.

So important, that I will ask again.

What are you measuring temps with?

What is the ambient temp of the room he is in?

What is the weather like outside where you live?(temps/humidity)

What is the basking temp? And how do you have the basking set up?

Ill check back in this thread tomorrow...

 

[melonman]

thanks

Umm the hottest point is like 75-82 the room hes in is well ventilated for air flow. im trying to get more bushes for up top as its ok but it looks like it could need more cover and im trying to follow jdogs video on a dry and wet but ima get more coverage soon he seems to lay in the cool area and then i guess he gets to cold and goes up to his branch with he likes thats under the uvb tube... whats a fecal and i live in california.. rite now its hot outside and not to humid kinda dry...... Another question i have is how many hours of sunlight will it take for me to delay his vitamin with d3 to every 8 weeks instead of 6 weeks...Thanks for helping me out on this thread

 

[Flapenn]
