They are xantholophus. The Meru Dwarf Jackson's are gorgeous, though!!

They will be set up in all screen enclosures - with dripper and fogger (I use the Mist Maker from Lee Valley), mist X 3. Verilux UV, low wattage bulb for basking (depending on ambient temps). Higher humidity at night (70-80%), ~40% during the day (at least that's what I'm aiming for - while allowing for dry out in between).

Any suggestions or comments?

cool... how much u paying for them btw?

hey jaylyn,

make sure your room doesn't get to hot. I know its hard to believe but my friend doesn't even keep a basking light on his jacksons. We have found that with the montane species its a hard time keeping the temps low with the basking lights. If they are set up in a room where its in a large area the basking light shouldn't be a problem. But just be careful of this.

personally my fav. jacksons are the xantholophus and the females are sooo cute, mainly because they don't have that ugly horn in the nose area.

Thanks! I'm keeping a close eye on the temps! I paid $250 for the pair (plus shipping). They are adorable. Quite stressed from the plane and the long drive - but changed from black to normal colouration quickly once out of the shipping containers. Drank well and ate some small grasshoppers once we got home!

I'll leave them be until tommorow - then picture time!
