Does my female Jackson look gravid?

[kerry1]

I was hoping someone could give me a little more insight as to whether or not my Jackson female appears to be gravid? I purchased her last weekend at a Reptile convention. I tried putting her in the cage with my male and she wants nothing to do with him. She turns really dark colors when he is around. I have already separated her into her own cage. I was just wondering if she looks pregnant to anyone else or if i am just wishing for chameleon babies?

a little yes

Hard to tell at the moment. She doesnt look like a balloon but possibly early in the gravid stage.

I agree it is possible but does not look all that rounded yet

It does seem like early onset of gravidity, but Im not the expert.

I do think that more pictures may clarify the issue.

Please feel free to ask any questions you may have, and share your opinions on things as well.



Again, welcome to the forums.

Here is a few more pics showing more of her belly. She turns bright green when she is out of the cage, but is very dark the rest of the time. Let me know what you think !!

She has what appears to be scratches from mating over her back legs, I think she is gravid did the breeder have her in with any others?

I don't know. The breeder had her by herself out of the cage on a tree limb at the convention.

She has a pretty pudgy belly from the middle to the back half of her body. The front of her is pretty skinny.

When I first got her last week, I put her in the same cage as my male jackson, and she resisted him and turned solid black, shaking back and forth with her mouth open.

Perhaps, but time will tell.

You really shouldnt be introducing a new chameleon to an established one. Has she had a fecal done and been through a quarantine?
