I'm so excited

[dreamforthedead]

My friend who owns a reptile shop has manged to get hold of 6 jackson babies, im so excited. You'd probs have a better chance of winning the lottery than getting a hold of a jackson chameleon in this country. They are coming on Friday she is keeping two for herself and selling the other 4, i have first chance of getting one off her for £150, i've been after a male yemen for ages but having a male jackson would be extra awesome. Only problem is just the other day i promised my bf i wouldn't get anymore pets because when we move in together he is gonna get me a panther. I already have a spare chameleon set up in my house i would just need to get a uvb tube, live plants and thermometers. It's so annoying as i really don't think i'd get that chance of owning a jackson again. Guess it's time to convince the boyfriend its a great idea. He doesn't really get how amazing reptiles/chameleons are. Wish me luck. I'm not gonna be able to sleep till Friday now, can't wait to see them.

I realy don't understand what you girls problems are? in this world of internet dating or finding a mate/lover, you would think it would be easy to find a guy who likes animals/reptiles.
I say ditch the guys and get more chameleons!!! after all, they don't talk back, and wont stay out all night and get drunk with their buddys.

personaly, even I found a girl who not only likes chameleons, but had a jackson in her past...and I didn't even look for such a girl. now if only her working hours matched mine a little more we might have a chance to date.

sorry, I'm being silly again.
congrats on getting a jackson soon. don't forget to post pictures.

You should hear my boyfriends sweet irish accent, i cant part with that. Na he is a great boyfriend, a keeper. He just thinks i think more of my animals than i do of him. He is an animal lover too, has loads of birds and he has has just bought us a puppy springer spaniel from his dad but it is still in Northern Ireland until we get a place together.

How old are these "babies"? You are aware of the high mortality rate right? Very good chance if this baby is 0-4 months there may be a problem.

 

[bradley]

go for it i know what you mean as i live in the uk but jacksons are becoming more available atm. That is a good price aswell!

Yes i am aware but all my reptiles have come from my friend, they have all been very healthy and i trust that these babies are healthy too. She has a good breeder. But i do know what your saying. The babies are 9 weeks old.

Yeah it's a great price. Hopefully i will be able to get one.

At that age I don't care how good the breeder is you are taking an expensive risk. I wish you luck. The babies could be healthy that is not the issue. They can appear to be healthy up to 4 months and can die the next day without any apparent reason. Also You said your friend got their hands on 6 babies not that she bred them. She is only keeping two and selling 4. I would recommend if you want one alive when all is said and done you have a better chance if you buy all 4. Best for them to keep them all and sell them responsibly at 4 months.

IMO - no matter who the breeder is they should hold them for at least 4 months before they are sold. These are not panthers and veileds. Things can and will happen.

Just a warning I felt should be put out there. Anyone considering buying a montain baby should be aware of.

first off, does he have a sister? maybe the type with long red curly hair? I can relocate...
yeah, how can you give up that sweet irish accent...?
but a once in a lifetime jackson? just hide it in the closet is what I'd do.

I know exactly what you are saying Ashleigh - Jacksons over here are about as common to find as rocking horse poop, lol! The owner of the reptile shop I go to had a baby Jackons in before - he was so tiny and sadly he didn't last long. They are very hard to raise, even for people that have kept chameleons and other reptiles for a long time.

Having said that, if you are anything like me, you'll not want to miss this chance of getting a Jackson. I wish you the best of luck if you decide to go for it!

 

[kinyonga]

LOL! Rocking horse poop!! You made my day with that expression!

Thank you for your advice, im not saying im going to get one im just having a look at them first. No she didn't breed them but she did get all my reptiles from the same breeder who has been breeding for a long time. Any way i do get what your saying. Thanks

Haha your funny! Na he doesn't have a sister but he does have a brother with ginger curly hair, lol.
I could never give up that sweet irish accent LOL
Hiding a jackson in a closet is not a bad idea, i could just say it came with the closet. Lol
