I did it again - I got a Chamaeleo Jacksonii

[BocaJan]

I happen to stumble upon a gravid jackson. She is wild caught but has been raised and kept by a person for over a year and is very healthy with no diseases. She is sleeping now but I will post a pic tomorrow. I am so excited to be branching out from veileds a bit and the little lady will be having babies, not eggs! WOO WOO. New experience for me. I can hardly wait.

Congrats!! I have a new jackson girl too! And she is preggers too! Do you know when yours is due? These will be my first babies (veiled eggs are incubating) - I am very excited!

I'm looking forward to pics - mine is a little fattie!

I have no idea. I have no experience palpating preggers jacksons. I guess I will weigh her tomorrow and get started tracking her progress.

haha ... neither do I ... From what I was told she has less than a month to go.

Good luck!

I used to have jacksons before. my last male passed a few months ago (old age). When you guys get your babies, let me know. I'll give you some pointers to rear them (if you like). Congrats to both of you!

Thanks! What are your thoughts on keeping them outside versus indoors? I'm in SoCal and I know many people keep chams outside. Is it okay to keep new babies outside? Or I should ask - is it better to keep them outside?
