Hello!
I'm looking for some photographs to show the colouration female Jackson's adopt when accepting or rejecting males, or when gravid. Do please share if you have any! I'm a zoology student and doing some background research for my dissertation. Any anecdotal evidence describing the colouration would work as well.
Thank you :)
 
This is not exactly what you asked for ,but it might be of interest to you anyway...

"My female was receptive but still chased my male off a bit, rocked, gaped, turned somewhat splotchy black....but he kept trying, she moved slowly away, and they mated. She was totally green while mating but back to being pissed as soon as they were done"...

"If the female chooses not to mate with that specific male she will warn the male by preforming a “dance” of her own. The female will rock violently back and forth and bobble her head in a aggressive manor showing her lack of interest well her tail coils inward to deter any attempt at mating. She will also change her skin color to a darker color with a molted pattern being displayed. On the other hand, if the female accepts the male as a mate she will lighten her skin color, curl her tail in an inviting manor to the male, to assist with the actual mating, and remain submissive when approached by the male. (O'Meara 2001)"...

Have you talked to Mary Lovein?
@JacksJill @Kaizen ?

Mating dance...


Almost a rape in the beginning....but she's really receptive...


Notice how the female raises her tail because she's receptive...
