Common Name: Jackson’s Chameleon
Size: 3-5″ species dependent
Life Span:Males: 8-10 yr, Females: 3-5 yr
Jackson's chameleons are territorial and should be housed individually. Handling is stressful to them, so as with other chameleons, they are pets better suited to being watched than handled.
Housing the Jackson's Chameleon
Chameleons should never be kept in a glass terrarium. They need the ventilation provided by a mesh enclosure; fine metal or fiberglass mesh is not recommended. Vertical space is essential since chameleons like to climb high up off the ground. A daytime temperature gradient of about 70–80 F should be provided, with a basking spot up to a maximum of 85 F. Chameleons also need a full-spectrum ultraviolet (UVA/UVB) light source. a humidity level of 50 to 80 percent. This can be accomplished by misting the plants in the enclosure regularly (at least twice daily) and through the use of a drip or misting system. Chameleons rarely drink from a water bowl, but they will lap up droplets of water off plants. Chameleons are insectivores, so feed them a variety of insects. Crickets are usually the mainstay of the diet but mealworms, super worms, and waxworms.
