Need help with sexing my new Jackson

[JoshOfTheJungle]

Just got a Jackson from Repticon in Charlotte, NC.
not sure the age or the sex. Is a three horned female a thing?? Weighs 18 grams. Has eaten a baby mantis, two small grasshoppers, four small crickets and has drinks water every couple hours when I mist the cage.

I barely know a thing about jacksons, but I can tell you straight away that's a male

That is a boy. Females of this species often have 3 horns but that tail base belongs to a male. You have a jacksonii jacksonii he should grow to 50-60 grams as an adult.

I knew the jacksonii jacksonii females had three horns as well, that’s why I was clearing it up. It’s pretty small. I didn’t realize their horns grew so fast. Any idea about how old it would be? Veileds are my area of expertise.

Good that Repticon is doing shows again.

18 grams is half the weight of my adult females. Probably 6-9 months but those horns are big. Any chance he was wild caught?
