Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

I got baby Jacksons!!!
Ya, so I come home last night and what I think is a really big dropping (funny, I know) is actually a baby chameleon. I start looking around and I find 3 more!!! At first I thought the male ate the rest, I havent heard of males eating offspring, but figuring it could happen. I look around and I start to get worried, then I look in the feeding bucket. Man, am I glad there was only 1 cricket in there that seemed to be scared to all hell of those baby chameleons. There were a total of 11 babies, all healthy, no still borns, all are good as can be!
Im so happy, the only problem is that I didnt expect her to drop so early. I thought she would drop late june/early july. I havent done all my research, but I know enough to keep them nice and healthy.
I have but one more question, I know what to feed them, I just dont understand the "how" part, how am I suppose to feed these little guys? I was going to throw a culture of fruit flys in their cage, but I really dont want to do that unless it is necessary.

Congrats! When I had baby jax I usually kepy newborns 5 - 6 to a 10 gallon tank and would put in fruit flies and 1/8" crickets in 3 - 5 times a day until they are about a month old, then Id spilt them into 22 gallon reptariums 3 each and fed them 3 times a day, normally by then they can eat 1/4 - 3/8" crix.

Thanks dfr!
I wish I would have known how long she was gravid, I got her as a nongravid female, I thought Id be prepared for this, but I didnt expect it to be a month early.
Ill put up pictures when I get back home from getting pinheads and fruitflies.

Great, I love baby cham pics.
Pin heads maybe too small, see if you can find 1/8".
You can get them online from a few places pretty cheap, if you need some links let me know.

Thatd be great, I realized they were too small, so I got the smallest crickets I could. How fast do they usually ship?

Congratulations!!
Something that I used to do was to put the babies in small screen enclosure ( just as Wendy said 10 gallon) make sure they have plenty of vines and leaves, mist the container right before feeding....the prey items sticks to the plant and are easier to catch for neo's. You can also put a peach or banana slice at the bottom of the plant or enclosure, it will draw it's own fruit flies. Mist the cages heavily 4 times a day and feed......and good luck! They are like having an infant around! LOL
