My New Jackson's Baby

My husband bought me this guy for Christmas from Pet Smart of all places. I was really surprised how healthy this one was, and they had him in the back, not on display... but all that is a different topic.

I put him outside in the sun yesterday for a little bit and got to take some pics of him. He's really friendly! No name yet...

Does anyone have any idea which locale or species of Jackson's he is? Thanks & I hope you like our photos!!







I love the 'spikes' on his eyes! I didn't notice them until I took this shot.

Fantastic photography! He is quite handsome. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that he is a 3-horned Jackson's chameleon...

Are you sure its not a j.j.? I see that yellow lateral stripe along the side and it makes me see that but you are the jacksonii master and not me

The double humped dorsal spikes,the roundness of the horns and the size of his scales lead me to believe he is a Xantholophus. The "stripe" looks more like the blotches that are common for juvinile Xantholophus to me. Are you going to pick up a JJ from KS?

Aha! thats why youre action jackson and not me No jj's for me. I just acquired a few new species so i had to hold off, but if you can find me a single male cristatus Ill lub you forever and ever

I don't know anything about jackson's, but I do know that he's a cutie!
