🧬 What Makes Rainbow Jacksons Unique?
First off—the coloration is wild. Unlike standard Jackson’s, these “Rainbow” variants have vibrant striping and brighter base colors, especially when relaxed or basking. Males sport three dinosaur-like horns, while females typically have a sleek, hornless look but still display gorgeous color.
What really sets them apart though is their viviparous nature. Yep, they give birth to live babies! No eggs. That makes for an interesting edge if you’re ever looking to breed or just want to witness something rare in the reptile world.
📅 Ages & Availability
We typically have the following stages in stock depending on the season:
-
Hatchlings (2–3 months) – Tiny and adorable
-

-

-
Adults (9+ months) – Breeding-ready or display specimens
Each chameleon is thoroughly inspected before shipping and comes with our Live Arrival Guarantee.
🏡 Enclosure & Environment Setup
Rainbow Jacksons are forest dwellers—they love moisture, shade, and cool temps. Think more mossy trees and foggy mornings, less desert heat. Here’s what they need:
Enclosure Size:
-
Juveniles: 16x16x30 inches
-
Adults: 24x24x48 inches minimum
-
Vertical space is key—these guys love to climb
Temperature & Humidity:
-
Day Temps: 72–78°F
-
Basking Spot: 80–85°F (no higher!)
-
Night Temps: 60–65°F (they need the drop)
-
Humidity: 60–80%, with dry periods between misting
Use a screen cage for air flow, add live plants for humidity retention (ficus, pothos, umbrella), and mist 2–3x daily. Add a dripper or fogger to ensure constant hydration.
Lighting:
-
UVB Lighting: Reptisun T5 5.0 or Arcadia 6% for 12 hours/day
-
Low-watt basking bulb for gentle heat
🍽️ Diet & Feeding Guide
Rainbow Jackson Chameleons are insectivores with healthy appetites. They hunt with enthusiasm, especially in the early morning or late afternoon.
Staple Foods:
-
Gut-loaded crickets
-
Black soldier fly larvae
-
Small dubia roaches
-
Silkworms, hornworms, and the occasional waxworm
-
Fruit flies or small flies for hatchlings
Supplements:
-
Calcium (No D3): 4x per week
-
Calcium with D3: 1x per week
-
Multivitamin: Every 2 weeks
Always dust feeders lightly and feed in a free-range or cup feeding method to avoid substrate ingestion.
🧠 Temperament & Interaction
Jacksons, especially Rainbow Jacksons, are among the most laid-back chameleons. Males can be territorial with other males, but they’re generally non-aggressive toward humans. They tolerate light handling much better than species like Veileds or Panthers.
That said, chameleons are mostly look-but-don’t-touch pets. Hand-feeding and gentle interaction build trust over time, especially if you keep their stress low and routine stable.
