Mt. Meru Jackson's Cham

[nicholas]

I had a few questions about these guys, First does anyone know any breeders of them or suppliers? Second, when suppliers get these guys in do they normally sell pretty quick, because I cant seem to find them any where! And how much do they normally sell for when the are CB babies? Thanks for your help!

Where I live, I think it would be easier to find Osama than a cb Jacksons - A local pet shop just had a wc ( even they are rare around here).--It sold for $240 (Canadian)--They are much easier to obtain in the US (and much cheaper!)

To be honest I don't know why they are not often available in the US, especially as CBs. The majority of the quota (round 700 animals) goes in the US but nobody seems to be able to breed them.
In my opinion they are relative easy to keep when low night temperatures are possible and most of the WC females are gravid.

Well then here's my second question, why does nobody breed them? Are they just to cheap to get wild caught for anyone to think about breeding them? I would assume tho that mt merus are not readily available so why would nobody breed them?

Hey Nicholas I will shoot you a PM on where to get them in the US a breeder is getting them imported this next month and they are keeping a few behind at their breeding area (don't know what its called) but they are making reservations for them) so if you are wanting one you will have to contact them.

I wrote that they are relative easy. Its sometimes a bit different to get the males in the right mood but if there are two males who have the chance to simulate each other it works in most cases.
At least it should be possible to "produce" CH juveniles, but even this seems to be a problem in the States

That's the main problem...getting the males in the mood! (I never had two males at one time.)
