I am currently raising a litter of babies that will hopefully be available in July.

 

This is the nominate subspecies of Jackson's chameleon that comes from the Machakos Hills of Kenya. They are also often called "rainbow" jacksons chameleons. This is a smaller and more colorful species of Jackson's. And unlike the more common xantholophus, females of this subspecies can have horns just like the males! My breeder female has three horns so hopefully many of her daughters do too. The females can also be very colorful like the males. (The first picture is my male and the second picture is my female.) While this is a montane species that requires a night time temperature drop, the necessity of an extreme drop is often exagerrated by internet experts. A night time temperature in the 60s is adequate. Day time temperatures should not exceed 85 for very long. Other than that they are a very hardy and wonderful species of chameleon to keep. They are about half of the size of xantholophus and one-third the size of panther chameleons making them much easier to house properly.
