good news, hope everything turns out good

Thanks!



I will try to post some pics if there is any babies!

Are you sure they are slugs? Sometimes if the baby doesn't brush against something then they can't get out of the birth sac and they can suffocate. If what she is dropping looks like curled up babies inside you may have to drop them onto a leaf or branch yourself.

They are just yellow sacks. Would you able to see inside the baby inside the sack if it was fertalized?

 

[Miss Lily]

I think so, yes. Search on youtube for Jackson births. The sac is clear and you can clearly see the baby inside - it is sticky so it ruptures on whatever they hit first on the way down, be it a ea or a branch! If these are yellow then sadly they are slugs. I hope she gives birth to some healthy babies for you! How old is she? How many has she dropped?

Unforchuntly there were no babies, just slugs .

I am so sorry, but maybe next time you will have babies.

 

[Creaturelover123]

Yeah maybe next time.

 

[JackP308]

Sorry to hear.

Did you ever breed her with a male?

 

[Creaturelover123]

No, but when we got her she had babies, and had them again 6 months later. This was her third time to have babies, but I guess they weren't fertalized.

This might be silly but here it goes.
Looking at how many Jacksons you have 0.3, that means you have 3 females and no males, right? If that is the case, she might have stored sperm from the wild or breeder you purchased from and might have none left.
Plus, doesn't slug mean baby that did not break membrane or did not fully mature to baby? Egg yolk means unfertile...I am not sure what the Jackson people call it-- Please educate me-- Thanks

.3= 3 females yes
and yes she did retain sperm from whoever had her last with a male. sometimes chams have 2 even 3 clutches, but as you said, there was no sperm left.
and slug is an unfertilized egg sack thing.

a slug has no baby, it could have been, but no sperm entered it to make a baby cham.
