Jackson's Cham horn broke and it's hollow??

[TimothyOnTop]

IDK, but I gotta ask how that happened.

I'm not sure it happened in his cage the other day

That's a fairly normal supplementation schedule what brands are you using?

 

[Alycia]

Also how long have you had him was he WC or CB?

I have had him for just under a year he was cb well at least that's what the pet store told me

I would make some changes to your supplements. Keep the calcium no D3 and remove the calcium with D3 and the flukers. The the flukers contain beta carotene not preformed Vit A. I would replace those two with Repashy lod it will cover your D3 needs and preformed vitamin A needs.

I can’t find any good information on the anatomy of their horns.
Are Jackson’s horns typically solid?

 

[Lindasjackson]

I have no idea

They are not solid. That would make for a very heavy head. They are ablative armor. The horns you see are not even calcium.

 

[Lindasjackson]

Oh wow, thanks!

This is his cage

Ablative armor...isn't that from Star Trek?

Keratin over bone, IIRC.

The military has been playing around with the concept since the '60s.

Xcom rule: Do not refer to the rookies as ablative armor

Had to look Xcom up.
In my day, it was 'cannon fodder'.
