pregnant jackson's

[bclack]

Does any one know the real gestation period for Jackson's chameleons? I have seen everywhere from 3 months to 10 months. I'm waiting anxiously for the delivery. Just want to know if I need to start pacing now at 3 months or be patient for the 10. Plus, do the females show any signs before delivery?

it is 5-10months and the female will start to get big on the backside. and she will stay a darker color green. when i got my gravid female back in augusti had no ideal how gravid she was until october 4 when i came home to find 12 baby jackson all over my porch and in the cage. she showed no sign that she was ready. but they will usually start walking all over he cage when she is eady to drop them

How come the gestation is such a wide range?

temperture. if the weather in the to cold it slows down the growth rate and if the weather is warm it speed up the growth rate. the female will stop eating a couple weeks before she is ready
