Check this out.....

While I was fiddling with the humidifer on my female Jackson's cage, I saw....



Crawling around the cage! This was her first brood, I think she dropped approx 15 egg sacs. Only 4 were developed and only 3 made it out of there sacs.

The ones that made look great - very healthy and alert! Exciting day it was!

That's awesome! They're sooooo tiny. So the eggs weren't incubated or anything, just dropped in the enclosure? That's amazing that a chameleon hatched like that

Jackson's are live-bearing, it's quite neat to see. They develop fully inside the mother, and when she births them, they're inside a sac which they need to break free from.

OH!! So cute!!!

I really loved the baby jacksons, they were so much fun to watch. Raising them wasn't much trouble either.
Good luck with them

And you had concerns whether the female was gravid or not. I guess that answers your question.

Baby chams are the best! Their heads are ssooo big at this stage, I always think they are going to fall head first off the branches!

Congrats and good luck with those buggers!

Thanks!

No plans for them yet, other than keeping them healthy and getting some size on them.

I don't believe they store sperm - if they do it would be very unlikely.

I've read that it's possible, but there are few, if any, documented cases.

i think they do retain spirm I have a honelli that gave birth to 2 babies who was never introduced to the male so the spirm had to have come from when she was in the wild, unfortunatly the babies dident make it one dident look healthy at all the other looked perfect but i think it was still born. I dident even think she was prego. In still waiting for my Fat Rudis female to drop her clutch im pretty sure she is prego.

Congrats on those little booggers they are soo cute
