anyone know were i can obtain this jackson chameleon? Chamaeleo_jacksonii_xantholophus_4.jpg
 
ahh yes he does have them but hes sold out :( and can anyone tell me what kind of slugs a chameleon can eat i have an abundance around my house
 
OK that is the prettiest jackson i've seen in a long time. Is it a different morph? I've been thinking of adding a couple of jacksons and that one is gorgeous.
 
That is a jacksonii jacksonii. There are 3 sub species of jacksons. Most of what you see are jacksonii xanth.

The jacksonii jacksonii and jacksonii merumontana are prettier in my opinion, but they are very rare. I'm not sure on their export quotas (or if they are even exportable), but I'm assuming they are a lot lower than the xanths and that's why you see so many xanths as opposed to the other sub species
 
I actually think that is xanthalophus.
I have a couple that are about 8 months old now ... they are in Chicago right now.
You definitely want to find a CB animal ... you'll have a much better opportunity for success than with a WC.

Yeah...sometimes they are, but this name is not a legitimate name or a legitimate subspecies and is simply a tribute to a smuggler who illegally brought colorful T. j. jacksonii to Europe. I personally think giving a smuggler such a tribute is a slap in the face of anyone who has ever done anything legitimate with chameleons so in addition to the fact that it is not a true species or subspecies, I'll never refer to them as that for that reason...

cb BRED are extremly hard to find, a few of the keepers that had them, got in a few ... i have not recently asked about how their gravid females were doing...


but since i have not seen anything, i will assume things as usual, didn't go as planned..


when they come in, they crash, and crash fast.

they usually only survive a few months in captive care... but that is most likely because of the methods used to bring WC animals over.... previous condition and a multitude of other things.
 
Indeed, as Sang said it is sadly true. It has recently been insinuated to me that these animals were in fact not "farm raised" in Kenya as was originally the story, but in fact, have been smuggled out of Kenya to a 2nd country where they were exported. As a result, the crash and die syndrome is very real for imports. There are, however, a few people working with cb clutches from imported gravid females here on the forum. Not sure if they'll end up offering any for sale, but there's a chance, if all goes as hoped for (planned).
 
I wouldn't give any wild slugs to my guys. Too much of a chance to get parasites and such. Just my opinion.
