Jackson turning camo when

[dereckperkins]

My female Jackson cham turns a camo like color when I introduce her to the male. Its made up of dark brown to black spots with a mix of light brown almost green spots.
This means she is not receptive right?

Usually when I introduce her to the male she turns completely black and sways side to side. For about a week now she has started doing this instead, but she will run from the male if he goes to get to her. She has not been swaying ether, I have been taking her out of the males enclosure after about 5 min after putting her in because she still will not mate.
I have been trying to mate her for over 2 months, no luck.

Try putting the male in the female's cage. You can hold him outside the cage first so they can see each other and you can gage their reactions first.

Ok so I put him outside the front of her enclosure, and she was a light brown-greenish color. So I went ahead and put him in with her and he did not acknowledge she was there. She turned a camo like color and swayed. She also ran away from him.

If she's swaying or gaping or hissing, etc she's not receptive which is why he won't approach her if he knows what's good for him. Try again another day/week.
