Here's my Little Jackson Ninja! (He will be 4 months on Dec. 25th!)

 

[Creaturelover123]

Forgot to ask. Boy or girl??? What do you think?

 

[camimom]

I think only males have horns, so male?

 

[Chase]

Male.

He is a cute little bugger! Good luck with him!

In this subspecies, that is correct. However, in Trioceros jacksonii jacksonii and Trioceros jacksonii merumontanus, the females do display horns.

Awesome. Congrats.

I knew some females have horns, but I dont know much about the species and which ones do or dont.
When I looked at that pic and compared it to other jacks ive seen (and ive sen afew of the various species) i thought male.
Glad to know I was right.

 

[Creaturelover123]

Thanks! We have raised him since he was born to my female. More pics to come!

You said correctly . I was just letting you know that identifying it solely on horns would not always be 100% accurate.

Here is the proud mommy!

Is she pulling her eyes in?
If not, she is very dehydrated.

 

[Creaturelover123]

It is a birth defect on that eye. Her other eye is perfectly normal!

Jackson

That guy looks so good where u get him from?

 

[Action Jackson]

Looks like a female xantholophus to me.

 

[coldbloodedAL]

imo its a female, males by this age should have more developed horns. And I have seen a female xanth with horns ( only very small like this).

 

[Kami]

Wow!! congrats! that's a beautiful girl! shes gonna grow into sum fine lady though keep in watch if he/she suddenly develops horns faster during this month it could be a male. XD wish you the best with your new family member ^_^

 

[allencg101]

ahh he's a cute chunky little monkey!!!

 

[serenitystarlite]

I think that's a girl as well. When I first got my Jackson's, he was 4 months old and had much bigger horns than yours. So unless it's a late bloomer, I would say female

 

[Miss Lily]

Wow! S/he looks huge compared to my little Monty who is 3 months old!

 

[Creaturelover123]

I think it's a male because the mom has a birth efect and that could make him a late bloomer and he had little horns when he was born. I'll keep you posted!
