New Jackson- Male or Female?

[Birdy]

I am new to the chameleon world and am a lost. I purchased a baby chameleon and was told it was a few weeks old. I have done hours of research and have the habitat figured out I think, but need help determining the sex and species of my Jackson. I think it is a male, but am not sure. He/she is about 2 months old now. I will attach a picture (just completing its first skin shedding). Thanks for any help!

Welcome to the world of Chams!! You have a cute little guy there. Looks to me like a little boy (you can see all three horns starting to come in. I would also say you have a Trioceros jacksonii. They are the most common species of jackson chameleons. Females rarely get a horn and it is one nose horn. There are a few different species of jacksons, but they are a little more rare. These guys need quite a bit of humidity to do well, but congrats on the little guy. You will find everything you need to know on these forums.

A) Totes adorbs. Those tiny little horns just kill me!

B) I agree, probably male Jacksons xantholophus - the most common type of Jax.

C) If you are lost, we will get you found! This is absolutely the right place for learning about caring for your new chameleon. The caresheet here is your new bible, read this until you know it by heart. You may find conflicting information on other websites but remember the information here was developed by keepers with more experience than the rest of us put together.

Jacksons are considered very delicate until about 5 months of age. You'll want to be very careful about temperature and hydration. Babies can overheat very easily, so you want to be on the low end of the recommended temperatures - basking spot no higher than 80F. Babies also eat a lot as I'm sure you have found out, so having a large variety of bugs (fruit flies, crickets, tiny superworms, baby silkworms, etc) will be really critical - as well as making sure your bugs are being fed nutritious fruits and veggies (called gutloading).

Questions:

• Do you have your UVB and basking lights set up? A baby this young can be overwhelmed by UV strength - experienced breeders sometimes recommend lower strength or older UVB lights for babies.
  
• Do you have a dripper/mister routine set?
  
• Do you have your calcium only and multivitamin supplements and schedule in place?
  
• Most importantly, does your chameleon have a name?

Sounds like he's been going well for the last few weeks. I wish you guys all the best!
