Are you using one of the ExoTerra screen enclosures? Chameleons need a LOT of air flow otherwise the get respiratory infections. Glass tanks are a big no no. The fact that female Jackson's give live birth makes things a LOT easier actually. Other chameleons risk being eggbound if their diet isn't right and that can kill them.
Didn't see this. Most cham breeding is pretty much rape haha. Also these guys live birth and need much different temp ranges than most chameleon. Prone to respiritory problems

That male chameleon looks pretty badass. I say he looks like a Sparticus to me. The female looks pretty timid...she should be Lady or Duchess

Sounds good. I think I am going to build one of these drip systems. What do you mean about an IV? I forget the brand but I think it is reptibreeze. It's a 24x24x36. I've got a good ventilation setup going for them.

Fire is Born said: Shulgin :P Also can you tell me what set up you have. Size, basking temp, non basking temp, water system, fans and feeding regime if you don't mind. These can be hard Chameleons to look after and I just want to make sure all is as it should be Would be grateful. Have raised a few clutches of these myself. Also are they in the same enclosure? Do you know about females becoming gravid and low temp drops. I don't mean to sound condescending or prising, I have just seen a lot of people fuck up with Jacksons. I'm sure you won't, but I like to ask anyway
Lol, thanks for your concern, but as far as the temps and enclosure and all that go, i've got it covered. I've read a ton of information and have brought myself up to par with knowledge. I'm still learning some things, but all that's gonna teach me is experience. I haven't read too much about them being gravid, but i'm going to check into that soon. I do have them in the same enclosure for now, until I can build another.
