Hey Michael,

Yeah, the Jacksons are doing great. I got them in their own cage and the misting system covers their water needs. They eat sparsely though, but with WC animals, they're like that.

Since I work during the daytime, there's nobody at home to mist the cages. And with Jacksons and other montane species, it's imperative (sp?) to keep the humidity up. Hence, the necessity of an automatic misting system. Well, either that or training my cat to do the misting for me. Now how hard could that be? LOL

The easiest thing to do with regards to an automatic misting system is to buy one from Greg West (shameless plug). I bought a system from him and it's great. No problems so far for watering and I can adjust the temperature of the water to what I want (via tropical fish water heater). Maybe I should write a review of the system?

Oops, I meant to say in my previous post, the Jacksons are in their own individual cages. I don't have a cage large enough to house all of them together.

I will be getting some more probably next week or just after Christmas. I am hoping to get hold of a gravid female so I can have Captive Born babies. But I plan on keeping a few pairs in stock so if anyone changes there mind let me know. Also in the new year I plan on bringing in some Wild Caught Panthers we need some new fresh blood around here, maybe some Mellers chameleons if anyone is interested and whatever else I can get my hands on. If there is a type of cham you want let me know I can see what I can do.

Thanks,
Michael

Wow, I didn't realize that they were that rare. We always have them at the shop I work at in Bellingham. They always come in as big juveniles. They are all eating great and (I think) they are captive bred. Very cool little guys. How old do they have to be before you can determine the sex? Snout to vent length is usually about 4" long and none of them seem to be starting to grow horns. Maybe they're just too young?

Hmm.. Something interesting I found about Jacksons so far... They seem to be very shy, almost as shy as Quads.

When I'm in the room, the Quads instinctively hide into the plants. They don't even come out to eat, only when I leave the room do they cautiously come out and binge on the crickets and mealworms. Jacksons almost do the same thing, they don't run away, but they don't eat while i'm there either.

I made a "cricket run" container that lets the cricket run around on a piece of cardboard, while still contained in it's container. This is really good for WC chams who may not have adjusted to bowl feeding. I don't know if it's ok to send a link from another website, but if anybody needs it, just PM me.

I cant promise you that I can get them in the future. I hope to breed them and produce some captive breds but thats along way off. As far as some dwarf, pygmy chams. I can see what I can get.
