New Jackson's Xantholophus

[elizaann2]

I think his greens are coming in. I see a light green color on his eye turrets, back spikes, and neck/cheeks. What do you guys think? He is 7 months old on September 16th. Is this around the time their colors start to come in?

Such a handsome little guy!

Ok everyone, at this point I feel like I see my little guy is growing every day. Its crazy how much change I see in him every single morning when I go check on him. He is getting more greens in his colors by the day. Today I could see a light green about halfway down his body, on his cutie little toes and going up his arms/legs. He has eaten out of my hands a few times and I am taking that as a wonderful sign that he is growing to trust me a little. I also noticed he isn't hiding behind sticks as often when he sees me or I need to do something in his enclosure. He totally has a favorite stick that he sleeps on every night as well.

Just out of curiosity, about what age are Xanths fully green?

Attached are some pics to enjoy.

I know nothing about Jackson’s but he is sooooocute!
Someone at our local petsore recently asked me to rehome one so I may or may not be joining the crew of Jackson’s soon. Just thinking it over. Lol

As long as you can manage its requirements (low nighttime temps), then they're amazing and such gently species. But, those low nighttime temps is the biggest reason why they're not as popular as panther's or veiled's

I don’t know where you live but I had to buy an ac unit for his room for nighttime.

Mine is sitting in the "basement" and during summer I also use a portable ac unit. Everything for our little tree monsters.
Oh and I'm from far, far away, across the ocean, a country that has the same acreage as an average national park in states

Lol. I agree with you. Everything and anything for those tree monsters. I might enjoy them more than my dogs

Yes, that is my fear with saying yes, my nighttime temps don’t always get below 70. It’s definitely a thought process though. I’m trying to see how I can make it work if I can, without too much adjustment and cost to myself since it is a rehoming and not a purchase. I recently got my 2nd panther so I have already put quite a bit of money into them this year. Thanks so much for your input, like I said I’m not well versed on Jackson’s and want to do right by him if I do decide to take him.
But honestly I would love to. Lol

Let me know what you decide. It’s defiantly not a decision to take lightly.

You’re always welcome. Overthink it wisely, buying is mostly the easiest part. That said, they’re worth every penny and second of attention
Just let us know and if more question pop-up, don’t hesitate.
