Keep in mind that Jacksons chams do not like very hot temperatures and prefer really humid conditions. I never used a basking bulb with my jax when I had them because it got way too hot in PA. Even in the winter I didnt need them. Keeping humidity up is always tough with these guys. What I did (and I borrowed this idea from Lele I think) was to take a bath towel and wet it down and place it on one side of the cage. This provided added humidity.
Jax chams seem to be slower at drinking than others I have had. I had to spray these guys down a good 2 minutes before they started drinking. I used a "yard sprayer" from Home Depot that pumps up and sprays a fine mist. I always filled it with HOT water since it cools way down by the time it hits them in spray form.
