Scratch these two images look at the ones below. It 3 different babies

 

[Alycia]

I'm thinking I have 2 females and a male but I can't tell for sure the one I'm thinking is the male is the one that's starting to display greens. They are 4 months old

I don't know how to tell, sorry, but I do want to say those are some awesome chameleon you have, colors look so amazing

 

[Alycia]

Thank you

I am not a pro with this species at all! Maby @Remkon or @JacksJill can help.

Ok thank you

What subspecies of Jackson's is this? Are they xantholophus?

 

[Alycia]

Supposed to be yellow crested Butte mom did have reds in her

 

[Alycia]

I'm actually not sure the mother was sold to me as a yellow crested But she had a lot of reds in her so I was never convinced

 

[CJ's Exotics]

The babies do have a lot of red, which is very pretty, if I were you, I would have some holdbacks, see what they look like, and research it.

These three I'm keeping

So are you sure the male is a xantholophus but you think the female is something else? PM me about this if you want, I love Jackson's and I am very curious about this. It will be hard to tell the gender if they might be jacksonii jacksonii, as the females may have small horns as well.

 

[JacksJill]

Trioceros jacksonii xantholophus (also known as Yellow-crested Jackson's Chameleon and Chamaeleo jacksonii xantholophus) Judging by the spines on the back they are xanths so the females won't get any horns beyond a possible stub on the rostrum. Females do have a red phase.
The one pictured on your thumb might be male but it's too blurry to tell. If you have one that has larger thicker horn buds that would be your male and if the others show no growth beyond a tiny needle like scales that don't grow suspect them to be female. I wouldn't bet the farm on the female looking ones until they are at least 6 mos. old and maybe not even then. Jackson's are slower to mature that the other common species.
They are all super cute.

Thanks that's the one I was suspecting was a male. Getting pics has been difficult. They see the phone and want to climb it. That's actually what the little guy was trying to do and the photo was snapped right as I was slightly moving him away. Lol
