I've got a colony of Jacksons--- an adult male, two adult females, and 9 babies 3 months old, with the male, females and babies all in their own large screen cages 2ftx2ftx4ft, three total. Each cage is thickly supplied with vines and sticks for climbing, incandescent light and fluorescent UV...
Yes, the two males are obviously horned, but the other seven have tiny nubbins making me fantasize that several more will be males. Seven brides for seven lizards...........................
Scrub, it's too complicated to sell them and I'll make a few internet friends, so off they go to fostercare. Last time we sold the entire litter to the Frazier Zoo, an exotic pet store in Villanova, for $300. They were the only people my wife trusted to take care of them and sell them to...
Ladies, in the absence of my 21st century abilities, AND with a 15yo computer geek who claims she can't do it either, then those damn photos will remain captive on my hard drive for now. Any suggestions for sexing via the vent or color??
Okay, this sound stupid, and we've been raising Jacksons for 10 years or more, but here at 3 months of age I have 9 babies and only two are distinctly horned and positively identified as male. Several others have tiny nubbins of horn, others none, so we're calling seven female. Or is this...
The official count today is SEVEN females and TWO males. TWO!! TWO!! What the heck!!??? We suspected, but the consensus is only two distinctly horned at three months of age. Some of you I know your wishes, but would you all state your intentions? I do believe the two males are already spoken...
Hey, I'd have to drive right past your house. We're in NEWTOWN, just north of the Phila. city limits. My wife is a regular at KP. Our house is kid friendy--lizard babies, dog, hammock, snack foods, loaded guns all over.....etc!
Amanda, who knows what secrets the female chameleon holds in her little three-chambered heart? But seriously, Linus has to work at it over a period of time when she's ready--it's not a one time thing either. There is alot of visual displaying and who-knows-what as signaling during the mating...
Amanda, come and get a pair of females. The male will light up and they'll all suddenly display all sorts of funny behaviors. You will have to keep them apart most of the time, but the YES!YES! movements from the male paired with the NO!NO! shaking from the female is quite a sight.
Cami, if you teach me how, I'd be willing to ship a pair to you. No need to take all day to come down. Also, we go out to Lancaster every now and again, which is an hour and a half west of here. Is that helpful?
