I know only a tiny bit about Jackson’s. If never mated, they will pass slugs...essentially infertile egg sacs. If they have been mated, they can store some sperm and fertilize at least one future clutch.

When you discover babies in your chameleon cage you will be led on a spirited chase to find them all! It usually takes me until the next day to get them all! This is how babies hit the ground. They then break out of their birthing sacs and scamper away. Some babies are not strong enough to...

...as much soil as possible, as they’ll lay their eggs near the roots and just under the soil. They look like little white balls. haven't gotten slugs yet but I did have some stowaway snails before. They’re actually pretty nutritious/high moisture, if I recall correctly - but def dont want...

...this thread was someone else's and their cham passed away. Then people that know Jackson's can give you detailed info. But Males do not pass slugs at all. That is what females do. I am guessing the female was not receptive to the male and this was what you were seeing. But again I have no...

Yes they should. I have one female that has not but she had what I suspect was follicular stasis. She was due to pass slugs for the first time, had gained weight and instead became very ill. It took me months to nurse her back to health and a year later she hasn’t passed any. She is probably...

My female Jane laid 7 eggs yesterday. One got eaten by crickets but it’s ok it was a slug. The rest, only 2 actually look good. We will see

...as you can. Then you basically build a fifth graders science project volcano! This is what frog keepers typically do when they find snails or slugs in their vivarium. It’s important to make it as airtight as possible because the CO2 will fall to the bottom of the enclosure and suffocate...

Thank you, hoping that’s all they are! My enclosure is in the bedroom so I just wanted to make sure it was safe to leave for the night and take care of in the morning. That plant was collecting a lot of water this week because I washed it in the shower and it hasn’t dried out yet.

If she passes a lot of slugs cut back on her feedings so she doesn’t have problems next time. Less than a dozen is fine

Very interesting.

...until this is over and only one tiny feeder at a time every other day. Females that have been fed too much during the past months can have more slugs than they have the strength to pass or a large slug can rupture and cause peritonitis, a life threatening inflammation and infection of the...

I can't say weather or not she will have viable young or just pass slugs but mature females will have something pass every 3-6 months regardless of being bred or not. I would have a bin ready if you think the seller was shady. If all you get is some yolk looking things then you can see if she...

I've seen some in Tantulas as I go there a lot lol. But I've only seen them catch snails and slugs. Small snails and he ate it shell and all. He just crunched through it.

Thank You! Yes I have a bunch of nursery cages ready for another clutch, so I do have extra room. I am keeping an eye on her to look out for slugs or babies, either way I appreciate the feedback.

...controlled environment. The girls just don't understand that a good meal is never more than a day or two away. Fat pads in the pelvis can make passing slugs, eggs or babies more difficult in any chameleon species. I never want my girls to have more than 12 and adjust accordingly if they have...

Not yet, but am starting to wonder....looking into this slugs thing. I have never heard of it before

...and Bayonet. These sisters will be part of next summer’s breeding program. They won’t be bred until they are 1-1/2 years old and have passed slugs. They are full sisters to Sheego and Cassidy @TheLetterAfterP(Q) and @Erica1884. Forgive the photo quality but I didn’t want to disturb their...

Although same as beman I've never had a jacksons and know nothing about slugs.... I wish I knew more. I'm sure someone has already done this but @JacksJill is a jackson's expert

Also can I breed and feed off slugs? And if so can they be kept in the same habitat?
