Dwarf Jackson

[swordfish1030]

I would like to get a pair of Dwarf jacksons...

1) Any thoughts on a great breeder for Dwarf Jacksons?

2) Any sub species better in your opinion than another?

3) Any do's and do not's in your opinion on a Dwarf Jackson?

Thank you.

I absolutely positively adore this subspecies of jacksons! xD

I dont know who you will get them from.

But they are much smaller than xantholphus (most common jacksons available), they prefer cool temperatures and a significant night time temperature drop.
Also they need high humidity and a well planted cage and lots of water to drink.
You dont have to feed them too much like you would with a Panther or Veiled and also dont supplement them too much, they need supplements in small quantities.

I have never owned one, but I wish to someday! I would check around google, and email as many breeders as you can.

There is a nice article on Jacksons on Chameleon News. I do not have experience with this subspecies, so I cannot offer any experience. Some people are getting them in soon if I am not mistaken.

I have kept a few over the years but never got them to reproduce. I kept them the same way I do panthers basically...except that I make sure that the warmest area of the cage is no higher than 84 or 85F. The ones I had lived with me for several years and all were WC's.

I hope to have success breeding them in the next couple months. I will record all my experiences and post them on the forum for any other people interested in breeding them.

Sorry double post...

 

[stevie]

wich one do you mean ? jack willingensis or merumontanus ? they are both smaller than xantholophus , give me the correct latin name and then i can help you
grts

 

[chameleonneeds]

Where did the willingensis come in? Arent they the jacksonii jacksonii's?

Im pretty sure the OP meant the merumontanus dwarf jacksons.

I was finally able to aquire a pair today. I've been looking for quite a while. They're hard to find and can be pricey. I was lucky to hand pick a pair and get them locally. Yippee!

PLEASE POST PICTURES Send me a baby

I'm letting them chill and getting them hydrated right now. I'll try to post pictures soon.

How much did you have to pay for the pair? I am considering exporting merumontanus if I have enough CB's.

Send them all to me! they will be in good hands! I am actually getting a male in a few weeks here! I found some online and a private breeder is getting some.
