This looks like a 4-5 WEEK old Jackson to me. I have 35 of them now and about 15 six month olds. I would recommend that you NOT buy this baby. I have not seen the phenomena, but I am told that Jacksons have a bad habit of dying off for no apparent reason at about 3 months old, as I said it didn't happen to me on two clutches of Xanths and I hope that it doesn't happen with the three clutches of true Jacksons I have going now, but it is a very common belief.
 
Most Jackson's breeders wait until 6 months to sell off the babies because young juveniles can be delicate. I would hesitate to buy one that young unless you have raised them from babies before.
 
Just make sure you know what you're doing. They are delicate little creatures, as you know. They are by no means cheap to care after. I have 1000 into mine and am about to drop another 400 on a dragonstrand cage .
