what is the average amount of time it takes for a baby jackson to shed? i have a pair of 3 month old. i'm not so sure if they shed before i got them i think they did, but i've had them for a week. i just want to know
Jackson babies grow a LOT slower than other species, therefore they shed less often too. Mine shed every 6 weeks or so when tiny (I got him at 7 weeks old). Monty is now almost 9 months old and has only shed 4 times. First shed (with me although I think it was his very first shed) was at 8 weeks, second at 16 weeks, third at 22 weeks and his last one was at the end of March/start of April at 30 weeks. Being that he is now 42 weeks old so I think he may be due his 5th shed quite soon, although he has naturally been eating less for the last few weeks. I have written a blog in which I detailed his weight gain as I have weighed him every week since I got him. It shows how little weight they actually gain to start with. https://www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/miss-lily/557-j-xantholophus-weight-gain-log.html
