Pretty easy IMO. There will be some challenges, but there are with every chameleon. Now $100 for pair is a good deal. I got my Jackson for $150 and she was on a discount.

if everything is set up ahead of time, correctly, and the cage(s) are reaching the temps they need to be at, they are not very hard at all 
they need more water, but less food as adults, less space than that of a veiled or panther, and alot less supplementation https://www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/amanda509/581-basic-care-jacksons-chameleons.html but please take into consideration, they are less forgiving of mistakes than other chameleons..so make sure everything is set up and running properly beforehand

thats if theuy are bred.
most females wont drop slugs, as they are live bearers.
meaning they dont lay eggs liek veileds and panthers.
so unless you breed her continusously, probably about the same tiemframe.

its possible they might. and having cluthces of babies can shorten that.
however, i jsut dont want to confuse the OP and make it seem like they only live a few yeras.
and beacuse they dont lay eggs, it can increase their life span if htey arent bred, or are only bred once or twice

even if you give them an entire room to themselves, he will try to breed with her every chance he gets.. and if you breed her constantly.. not only will you have babies every few months.. (which you wil have to feed, house and rehome)
you will shorten her life span.
males are there for one thing.,, to breed. so every time she is receptive he will find her to mate.
we never house chams together unless its for breeding, or they are pygmies.

no. they cant. just like panthers and vields cant.
too much breeding=shorter female life span. and tons of babies.. which eventually leads to them needin ghomes.. and once youve sold to everyone.. what do you do with the rest of the babies? esp if youve got 20 or 30 to house,feed, and care for?

Chameleon overload... Yeah no good. But I wish there was a way to house chams together safely so that I could eliminate housing space. aka a million cages all over my room..
