Oh I miss my Dwarf Jacksons! :(

Most regular Jackson's Chameleons will reach a total length of approximately 12 inches. So they aren't a large size chameleon full grown. The minimum size cage I would use would be 18"x18"x36" tall, although 2'x2'x3' or larger would be prefered.

Here's an interesting care sheet for you: http://www.adcham.com/html/taxonomy/species/chjacksonixanth.html

Hope this helps!

Jackson's are a montane species... meaning they come from higher elevations than most chams, thus the temperatures are a little cooler. 80F-85F is right! Jackson's like it cool and humid.

Cheers!
