Jackson’s Chameleon
| Place of Origin and Range | Jackson's chameleon or Jackson's three-horned chameleon is a species of chameleon native to East Africa, but also introduced to Hawaii and Florida. |
| Description | They are sometimes called three-horned chameleons because males possess three brown horns: one on the nose (the rostral horn) and one above each superior orbital ridge above the eyes (pre ocular horns). The females generally have no horns, or traces of the rostral horn. The colouring is usually bright green, with some individual animals having traces of blue and yellow, but like all chameleons, they change colour quickly depending on mood, health, and temperature. |
| Morph Patterns Available | Yes |
| Adult Size | Can grow up to 15 in (37.5cm) |
| Accommodation | This chameleon lives in a number of habitat types in its native range, including plateaus, mountains, and valleys. Like other chameleons, it is arboreal, living in trees and other large plants. It prefers warmer temperatures, generally between 75° to 95°F (24° to 35°C). Also you want to include a bathing dish big enough for your to climb in without overflowing. To improve shedding. 2 ft x 2 ft x 4 ft terrarium for an adult. |
| Lifespan | Can live 3- 8 years |
| Feeding / Diet | Eats a variety of tiny insects., foraging along the forest floor. Searching for prey with its independently moving, protruding eyes and catching insects with its long, sticky tongue. |
