Pregnant Jackson Chameleon Questions?

[JackCham8oh8]

I just got a pregnant chameleon female from my neighbor. He said that she is definitely pregnant. She is not eating and is currently not even moving. It seems that she cannot even support her own weight because it looks like her body is weighing her down. I am kind of worried. How long will it take for a jackson chameleon to lay her babies? She seems pretty stressed because of her new surroundings so will this affect her birth and her babies?

jacksons have a live birth and they live inside of them for nine months. How long has she been pregnant?

Be sure the temps and humidity are good and that she has a basking site. In my experience, Jackson females get HUGE before giving birth and a few weeks prior look like a bag of marbles. Gravid females do not move around much and spend most of the day basking, they generally slow down on the eating up to a few weeks before giving birth, but if she has stopped eating (and it is not due to the stress of the new surroundings), she is very close to giving birth, probably within a week.
