Great, i have heard that they could be picky eaters is this true. Are they big enough to eat full sized crickets are do they need small to medium crickets. I would give them array of food as well as crickets. I have had a Jackson for about three years and hes great. Am i wrong to assume since they are both mountain chameleons that they would need simlair types of environments. A very well planted cage, low temps between 70-80 and very high humidity. thanks alot

Some mountain chameleons are picky and some are not. The one I had was a picky eater, but if not they can eat some plants like mustard and collared greens. Small to medium crickets should be given, since they do not get big as much Chamaeleo species do and yes you are right about having the same enviroment as a Jackson Chameleon.

Hi-

I don't keep this chameleon and there is not much on them, but the care is the same as the Jackson's. Hope this helps!
