[chameleonkev]

Its a stupid question but someone I no has had two what are ment to be male and female jacksons.i no that with the jacksonii chams the females can get horns but I thought with the xantholophus jacksons the females don't get horns but both of these have them, can anyone clear this up for me? Thanks

can we see picss?
typically xanth females do not have horns. howver, they can sometimes get a tiny rostral horn only.

males will have the typical 3 horns.

if you post photos of the face we can help.

They are probably that they have. Female can have horns, but they are greatly underdeveloped. How old are they and how big are the horns?

There 5months old and the horns are quite large and the same size on both, I'm 99% sure there both male but just wanted a second opinion. In making sure because Ive put a deposit down on two females witch I will be picking up In a month with the intension of swapping one of the females for one of what we think are males.sorry I don't have any pics as they arnt mine but they both have the same patten and same sized horns
