Is this a pregnancy pattern?

@JacksJill @Kaizen @Mendez Would be able to give you feedback. I have tagged them in your post.

@JacksJill or @Kaizen would give better answers for if she is pregnant or not. However, to my knowledge, jackson's females do not display gravid colors. This is what makes it even trickier to determine if the female is about to drop. As far as I know, the only indicator for whether a jackson's chameleon is pregnant or not is by looking at the size of the belly.

Would you be able to provide us with more pictures of your female? It looks like she might possibly be pregnant, but that could just be the angle of the chameleon basking. More pics from different angles would definitely help.

The weight kept growing, but the belly didn't change much.

Has she been growing longer as well? She looks to be at a very healthy weight (not obese and also not too skinny either). So if she is gaining weight, and she has not been growing length-wise, then this could be an indication that she might be pregnant.

Sorry, plowing snow like mad. Has she ever been around a male? Has she given birth before?

 

[JacksJill]

If she is a wild import she is likely pregnant. Unless she was raised in an individual cage from an early age she is likely pregnant. There is no indicator that I have ever found on the outside. I can't even tell with bred females weather they will have babies or pass slugs (unfertilized ova).

I agree with @JacksJill here. W/c will almost certainly be gravid, or else have retained sperm. And if a CB female even sniffed a male, I’d err on the side of gravid too. Best advice: be ready for babies! And…”raise ‘em separate and get ‘em cold.”
