how to tell....

[chamillionaire3]

so i was wondering how you could tell if a female jackson is gravid. do they change color, have decreased appitite, more aggressive? i have a female jackson and although i dont believe she is gravid it would be nice to know the symptoms for the future when i try to breed her

Your chameleon had contact with any male? The terrarium is shared with a male?
Generally, you said the characteristics: the changing colors of ovulation, sometimes more aggressive, and decreases her appetite a few days before laying eggs.

Sorry for my bad english guys I'm a breeder from Mexico, have a nice day.

well she was housed with my male at the pet store and at my house for about a week. but i dont think she is old enough yet to breed i just wanna know the symptoms for when i do breed her

She will do well to lay eggs, jacksons are live Bering chameleons

How old is she and at what age where she sharing a home with a male, was the male related?

 

[chamillionaire3]

IMO i believe that she is about 7 months old. when she was housed with male she was 6 months old. and i dont believe that they are related

 

[chameleonkev]

I've had jacksons at that age and in my experience there where no we're near breeding age so I wouldn't of thought its an issue for you as jacksoni are slow growers

 

[chamillionaire3]

yeah i dont think she is prego i was jw so when i do try and breed them i will know. what is the breeding age of jacksons?

Is recommended that your chameleon has 1 year old to breed.

I'm sorry but I don't understand what you mean with your comment.

What Chameleonkev was saying, was that Jackson's don't lay eggs... they give live birth. The female holds the eggs inside of her until they're ready to hatch. When it's time, she'll perch somewhere kind of high up so that when the eggs come out, they'll fall which will help to break open the egg for the baby. The eggs aren't what you might think of as an egg (with a hard calcium exterior). They're soft like an embriotic sack.
