I was going to link you to a fantastic geocities website about Jackson's, but it says it is no longer available, which is a shame!
I have no experience breeding chameleons in general, nor will I want to probably lol so I'm a useless source of info. But I'm just going to reply to help bump up your thread so someone who knows will answer. All I do know is that they give live birth, so you save yourself having to get an incubator. I think they will be gravid for a really long time, something like 5-10 months? And that as soon as she delivers the neonates she should be separated from them or she might eat them. Oh and that if the neonates don't emerge from their sacks after the initial drop, you should drop them again to stimutate movement.
And that's all I know lol Hopefully someone else will come in and give you a more detailed picture.

mine had 15 (one still born) on 6-29-09, i have another female that has gotten really huge and definitely looks gravid, but has so far yet to show only slight color change. im not quite sure how that happened, certainly not as any part of intended breeding , but there was some incidental co-habitation several months back. / like lance said outdoor is hard to beat for those in a position to do it. anyway, if i end up doing it again, (not being able to do it outdoors) i am going to use a 12x12x18" glass exo-terra. i recently bought one to house my newly aquired orchid mantis(s), and in doing so, realized it is perfectly suited for raising a clutch of jackson's (not necesssarily an endorsement of glass cham housing in general). lance has more to add on the breeding thing than i do.
