Jacksons Experts Please Help

[Solid Snake]

Well 2 months ago I picked up what I thought to be a male xantholophus, aged about 3-6 months. The store owner had no info on the animal whatsoever. Now, I am unsure of age, sex, and subspecies!
Here are about one hundred pics of him/her, most of page one was taken yesterday, aside from the video. They are not good pics, and only a few might help with sexing, I swear I can see a bulge on him, but it is minor. My freind should be coming over this afternoon to take some better pics.

Any info is much appreciated...

[ferretinmyshoes]

Yep female. Could be an adult even, but im not very good at aging - she's as big as my adult though. Looks like a xanth.

 

[mattcast1214]

Yea female and definitely looks older than 6 months, maybe 9

female butt i see why the shop mistaken him she has a rather big horn for a female and its growing towards the sun , now she is defenatly a youngster i guess 6 month's tops and wildcaucht i think , a few tips you really have to improve her terra : more branches and vines more plants and do not put bark on the bodem if they shoot prey on the bodemthey could swallow the bark and that doesnt digest result = vet .

I am by far no expert on jacksons, but i'd say that is a female either jacksonii jacksonii or merumontana.. Probably jacksonii because shes a little big to be merumontana.

Look at this article:

No sir, you are wrong. Read the article i posted

 

[Chris Anderson]

The original poster's chameleon is a female Trioceros jacksonii xantholophus.

Of the three currently recognized T. jacksonii subspecies, T. j. xantholophus is the largest and T. j. merumontanus is the smallest.

willigensis was never a valid name or subspecies. This pseudo-scientific name was given to a color form of T. j. jacksonii to celebrate a smuggler who illegally imported some to Europe. While your T. j. jacksonii may have been smaller than your T. j. merumontanus, this is not indicative of the size of the species. T. j. jacksonii are known to obtain larger sizes than what T. j. merumontanus are known to reach and are also larger on average.

Thanks to all who replied, I appreciate your time and input.

I no longer use substrate, it came with her and it was only in for a few days.
Her new custom home will be ready next month, for now, I have greatly improved it from what can be seen. It did start off very pitifull yes.
So, where can I find a male trioceros jacksonii xantholophus near the Texas pan-handle?

...and whoever said she might be wc, why do you say that?

Thanks again!
