Jackson Chameleon Richard Owen

The Jackson's Chameleon is a popular breed of chameleon to keep as a pet however in captivity they tend to have very short life spans. Many people believe this is because they are less hardy than other chameleon species and whilst this is true, the real reason these creatures don't live more than a few years when kept as a pet is because new owners misunderstand their needs and don't realise they have specific care requirements. This book was written for anybody who is considering buying a Jackson's Chameleon or who has already purchased one but wants to provide it with the best possible care. It tells you what you need to know before purchasing - where to buy, what to look for and the questions you should be asking - as well as the important information you need to know after purchasing such as how to set up the perfect vivarium and how to keep your pet healthy.
