1)Are these a mellow cham?
2)does any1 have any care sheets?

thanx

Mine was a very mellow guy but not sure if that's true for all of them. Their care is very similar to Jackson's.

Most are not mellow. They tend to be more active, quick moving and need larger caging than jax. I had one multituberculatum who was the best escape artist of any cham I've seen. He made a point of squeezing out of anything. The ones I've seen or kept were all fairly shy and reactive, but there are exceptions. They prefer a bushier cage so they can hide and hunt from hiding. There are several subspecies from a fairly broad range of habitats so what goes for one does not apply to all. Basically all will be wc, so be very aware of needs for parasite treatment and stress and dehydration as a result of poor captive care before you get it. No specific care sheets that I know of other than trying to get a copy of a old Chameleon Information Network journal species profile in a back issue. I think you can link to these from the www.chameleonjournals.com website. You can get species info from www.adcham.com that can tell you about what climate and habitat you'll need to provide. Petr Necas' book "Chameleons, Nature's Hidden Jewels" has species info too. I think you can get this book from www.calumma.com now. Its a great reference.
