Jackson Chameleons for Sale – Calm, Horned, and Stunning
Looking for a pet reptile that’s calm, cool, and downright prehistoric-looking? You’re in the right place. Jackson Chameleons, also known as Trioceros jacksonii, are one of the most recognizable species in the chameleon world—famous for their three forward-facing horns (males) and their mellow, curious personalities.
At Kingsman Exotic Reptiles, we offer Jackson Chameleons for sale that are captive-bred, health-guaranteed, and raised with top-tier care to make sure they arrive healthy, hydrated, and stress-free. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned herper, Jacksons are a rock-solid choice.
📋 Quick Jackson Chameleon Facts

🧬 What Makes Jackson Chameleons Special?
Let’s start with the obvious: the horns. Male Jackson Chameleons sport three iconic horns—one on the nose and two over the eyes—giving them a look that screams “mini triceratops.” It’s not just a gimmick either—these horns are used in mating displays and light combat in the wild. Females, while lacking the horns, are still incredibly beautiful, with their bright green base color and subtle yellow accents.
They’re also viviparous, which means they give live birth instead of laying eggs. That makes them unique among many pet reptiles and especially interesting to breeders.

🍽️ Feeding Jackson Chameleons
These guys are true insect hunters. Their long, lightning-fast tongue snatches prey like a pro.
Staples:
-
Gut-loaded crickets
-
Dubia roaches
-
Black soldier fly larvae
-
Hornworms, silkworms, waxworms (as treats)
-
Fruit flies or pinhead crickets for hatchlings
Supplements:
-
Calcium (No D3): 4x a week

Hydration is also key. They don’t drink from bowls. Use a dripper or mist thoroughly and watch them drink from leaves.
😎 Temperament & Behavior
Unlike their more aggressive cousins (like some veiled chameleons), Jacksons are calm and relaxed. Males might be a little territorial toward other males but are generally tolerant of humans. Some even get curious during feeding time and will hand-feed after a bit of trust-building.
They’re not the kind of lizard you’ll walk around the house with—but if you enjoy watching natural behavior in a lush setup, they’re as rewarding as it gets.
