What? Chams continuously pick up parasites from their prey. They need to be checked periodically as part of standard health care.

That shows you are doing something seriously wrong in my book. I have never heard of such a big problem with stillborns. In my opinion you either have really bad genetics, are breeding far too young, or have really really bad conditions. You need to rethink everything in my opinion. Usually most babies survive at least to 4-6 months, if raised correctly they can survive passed that and be adopted out with no problem. In my opinion, a good breeder of jacksons babies would not adopt a jackson they raised out until at least 5 months, preferably 6 months.

Such a high stillborn rate can also be due to poor nutrition in the parents. If you describe your setup, your lighting, and your gutloading and supplementation maybe we can improve the life of your chams.
