I am looking to buy some adult Jacksons. I want one male and two females. Where is the best place to get a good quality animal at a good price?

The classifieds of course! Good luck. Brooks

any specific breeder or vendor

There are lots of reputable Jackson breeders to choose from. Just make sure that the male is completely unrelated to the females,(in case breeding occurs.) Please be careful because too many will sell you a trio from the same clutch.

i can recommend Reptayls or Lance Lungren. i have 1.2 jacksons for Reptayls and lance, who regularly has ads in the classifed has been a big help with the care questioons i have had. i believe though that lance does NOT ship, only pick up in southern california.

Just remember that you get what you pay for. Lots of people will sell you WC and tell you they were CB.

Also: you're not planning onm housing this trio together are you? These guys MUST be housed individually. Also, if you're new to jax: they're very sensitive to excessive supplementation. If you gut load your prey properly they shouldn't need supplementation more than once every 2-4 weeks.

I think I am going to order three from Ray at Herp Breeding Research. He said they are bred by a guy in Philadelphia. I was planning on keeping them together in a large outdoor cage. I did this a few years ago and they did very well. They even had two clutches of babies. I figure if they are willing to breed and eat well and grow they can't be too stressed. In general, stressed animals will not breed. Am I way off here or is it different in a large cage?
