Selecting Your Jacksons Chameleon

Үй жануарлары мен аңдар

Your first Jackson's Chameleon! This video tells you what you should know when you are looking to buy your first Jackson's Chameleon. I discuss the differences between the subspecies you will find, whether you should consider male or female, and medical insight to pick a healthy chameleon. This is the information that is missing from all the normal "intro the chameleons" videos!

    @@stevenschultz9966 i have not purchased a chameleon from Petco. I have seen some very healthy ones there and some on death’s door. So, as long as you know the signs of a healthy chameleon, you can find a good one there. But the care the chameleons get are very much dependent on the competence of the reptile department manager. So just go in knowing what to look for!

    My first chameleon was a Jackson’s. I got a panther chameleon afterwards and realized Jackson’s are a bit more tricky to care for at least with my experience. My Igor is showing signs of illness even though I have brought him to the vet a few times. When one issue resolved, another pops up. I need to reevaluate my husbandry. ☹️ I have followed the husbandry guide from the facebook group. Idk what I’m doing wrong. 🥺

    There will be a point where the enclosure will be big enough and set up well enough to allow cohabitation to be stress free. But that point is way beyond the size of standard commercially available enclosures or even hand built cages.

    I do not know how closely related they are. It is possible it could work though. That said this is not something we should do. While imports are available we should keep them separate and leave hybridization only for the day in the future when we have no choice. It will happen soon enough. If we hybridize now then we reduce the amount of time we have with them after imports stop.
