| Humidity: |
Jackson's Chameleons require a relatively high
humidity level of approximately 70% to 80%. To acheive
this high level of humidity you can mist the enclosure
at least twice daily. |
| |
|
| Lighting: |
Provide your chameleon with UVB light for between
10 and 12 hours per day. |
| |
|
| Physical Design: |
Jackson's Chameleons will spend almost their entire
day high up in the branches of the plants you provide
them. Be sure to provide an area with plenty of
cover so that they can hide if they want and plenty
of branches to climb on. |
| |
|
| Size: |
A bigger enclosure is always better but be sure
to make it high enough that they can climb high
into their branches. |
| |
|
| Substrate: |
Since Jackson's Chameleons spend the majority
of their time on the branches in their enclosure
the material used as a substrate is not as important
as it is for other lizards, however mulch is the
recommeneded subtrate for these lizards. |
| |
|
| Temperature: |
Appropriate daytime temperature for these chameleons
is about 75 to 77 degrees F with a nigh time temperature
drop to about 70 degrees F. |
