wow, what a shame...you would think petco would know better seeing as how they're such a successful and thriving store chain! :(

Aww, what's wrong with Po? Did you still need donations to take her to the vet ??

I own a few Xanth's...the guys some times have tinges of blue dots here and there whenever they're trying to impress my female xanth. they're still juvie's, ~1 year old so not sure if they will grow out of it or what. i don't do it to often, but i love taking them all out to see the boys flare...

wow, that's awesome sauce...love the pics.

flip, what kind of cham did u want? i live in hawaii too and i have 3.

ouch! i would probably freak out if my boys ever prolapsed, so props to you for keeping your cool and doing everything you could with what you had

semi-experienced Jackson owner here...I'd say they were somewhere between a year and 15 months. Which means yes they are of age to breed, but I'd try to do some deep digging on their origin. Best bet would be to find someone trustworthy here on the forums willing to bring their male over to...

somehow every single picture came out blurry. not sure how that's possible, but the important thing is VET asap. also update us as they come :)

very nice...bit more foilage and you'll be good to go :)

semi-experienced xanth owner here...she looks at least a yr old, maybe a little older(depending on care). won't say much cuz you already got some great advice here on this thread, other than xanth's our my favorite and never hesitate to ask anything. no such thing as a dumb question here...

Sad story...poor girl :( never trust petco employee's, lol...you would think they'd need some kind of degree to work there or something

I would definitely keep one or two of 'em for myself :D The rest, I'd probably try selling on craigslist, or give them to numerous pet stores on island (it's illegal to export them). I would also consider giving some away to friends but only if I know them well and trust that they have the time...

Sounds like they were previously caged together until recently ??

ahh...makes sense :D

wait, so ur saying the worse they're cared for, the more babies she'll have ?? :confused:

Hmm, I guess that's true! She doesn't spend half as much time as I do w/them and I doubt she'd be able to discern if our girlie was gravid. Then one day they'll pop out I'll have my feeders ready to go! Honestly, I'm more intrigued by the challenge of successfully raising a full clutch of...

Yeah, been tryin' to think of some kind of clever "oops! oh well!" scenario, but my wife knows me too well, lol... I think my plan will be to just impress her with successfully raising food colonies. I'm confident with crickets, silk worms, and fruit flies don't seem too hard.

hmm, guess I need to check my sources! funny cuz that one fat kid from hawaii (that kept trying to mate his jacksons even though she was already "pregyos") had over 20 in that clutch. most of them didn't survive :(

Happy B-day Kiwi! Even though it looks like ur givin' us all the finger...quite the eccentric one you got there! lol!

We've been raising Jacksons for about 6 months now, and for the most part you could consider them healthy and thriving. They will be making a year old soon, so I was talking to my wife about breeding them. Shortly put, it was a stern "No", and she basically thinks I'm some kind of sick pervert...
