Thank you for touching on Hawaii. I found one and am watching your video to properly care for it for my kids but as a native Hawaiian these are issues that I appreciate other people learning about. Hawaii has such a sensitive ecosystem that nearly EVERYTHING introduced here, whether it be plants or animals, it almost always has a negative impact on our native species indigenous to the islands. Thank you for your passion. Much Mahalo 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼

Hi Bill, I was wondering if you and other chameleon keepers have a helpful guide to a successful shedding session. Great vid, wicked valuable information. Thank you!

One of my greatest memories growing up in Hawaii was going across the street from my house at night and seeing a random Jackson’s Chameleon up in the branches almost every other week. Though they were common in Hawaii in the mountains, they were not common pets by locals. But I loved catching roaches and feeding them lol. But yes growing up I see a crazy amount of invasive species like Jackson’s Chameleon, Peacock Bass, Red Devils, Cane Spiders, etc.

@@ChameleonAcademy I am aware and although I am busy as a teacher I am trying to build ties back to my homeland so we aren't so isolated in our corners. If you have any contacts for new blood I may not be aware of here in northern Germany, I'd appreciate it for certain, not only for my own breeding group butalso to help our comrades back in the New World preserve this wonderful form. On a side note: One great asset that we have here is that the Breeders and Herpetocultural Societies have access to the offspring from Europe-wide zoos and thus the group is deeper than what any individual may be working with.

@@ChameleonAcademy Thanks for asking, I currently do not have a full breeding group of merus as of yet, only two young females from a breeder in Schleswig-Holstein. I will hopefully be picking up a reverse trio this December at the Hamm show if things go according to plan. I know that the subspecies is greatly in decline and have been considering launching my own you-tube channel once I can get a reasonable camera and microphone. Will keep you updated if you are interested.

In Hawaii the nights usually only drop to 70°f at the lowest but they seem to thrive here, have the Hawaiian sub species adapted to the climate in the last 50 years of being here?

@ChameleonAcademy 11 ай бұрын

Although this might be an adaptation that will grow over time, it is more likely that the chameleons are finding micro-climates that are allowing them to survive. When we bring them into a cage we drastically reduce their options to find comfortable spaces and so we need to be closer to ideal than nature does. This sounds counter intuitive, but it comes with reducing their choices. So we have to extract what we can from the natural range in Kenya and watch how they react when we give those conditions. Hawaiian Jackson's do much better when given the nighttime drop and so we can deduce they have not changed. Every animal has a tolerance range that they can survive and reproduce. But we want to target ideal with our care guides. There has been a constant flow of people trying to argue that Hawaii is hotter and therefore Jackson's don't need the nighttime drop. As soon as we see that show itself in the captive population we can start changing the care guides. But as long as they do better with cool nights we have to stick with that.

Can a Male and Female not live in the same enclosure? I have a 92cm tall X 92cm wide X50cm Deep with LOTS of plants and branches and i bought the two Jacksons as a breeding pair.

@ChameleonAcademy 11 ай бұрын

Unfortunately, a pair cannot live together. It isn’t even a case of whether they can sit somewhere where the other can’t see them. They will literally look for each other to cause trouble. Jackson’s are very subtle about showing their stress in a way that is obvious to us humans. And this is why so many people think it is okay to keep them together. But this is also why Jackson’s chameleons often have short lifespans. You will have to get another cage.
