Baby jacksons

I recently got a baby jacksons (he is about three weeks old) for free. I set him up temp in a 10 gallon tank. Got the UVB light and got the basking light and some live and fake plants. My only question is about feeding. Do I just put the crickets is the cage and let em roam and he will hunt em down? Or is there a better way of doing it. And also can you have too many plants? Take a look at my setup and tell me what you think.

Just drop the crickets in and he will hunt them down.Remember do not put in more than he can eat.I notice one other thing, Jackson's Chameleon need a screen cage to live a healthy life. The Aquarium will not provide the right ventilation he needs and will shorten his life. I breed Jackson's s for 10 years now.. If you would like i can send you a complete care sheet on them. Please email me and let me know.

Thanks and Good Luck
Ben

Not only do they need a screen cage, but they are a mountain species, so too much heat will kill them...about 83-86 degree basking spot, with night drops no lower than 64 degrees. They also like a daytime treat out doors....a little morning or afternoon sun does wonders. Flightless fruit flies are a good food source also. Enjoy your new baby!

The glass cage is just temp. Read that glass is ok for babies. I am well aware I need a mesh type cage and will be getting that very shortly.
