I have spoke about this condition with @Action Jackson and he has seen it on one of his animals, again seemed to be benign but we were unable to determine a cause. I would be interested to see if you find any more information about this.

I have seen this before in my nosy be male. It seems to be benign as the color change happened around the year two mark and he is almost 5 now. Does the discoloration seem the affect only one side of the tail?

This summer has flown by...

Now you have my attention...

Ya I usually put him back inside when air temp is over 90. Hopefully we stay in the 80s for a while.

Finally a cool rainy day. It was well over 90 last week and Cryo had to come inside for a few days.

I use a butterfly cage and keep them outdoors in the shade in summertime. I can hang greens from the top with a paper clip so they don't have to go to the floor to eat. If I bring indoors I hang a heat lamp on top.

End of May update. Love my morning coffee by the cage.

You can just say you're building a planter box that has a chameleon in it haha.

Branches and chameleon in.

Spring is finally here! Let's see those outdoor keeping plans for 2024 and the progress over the season. This will be my 4th year keeping Cryo outdoors from May 1st until early October in a planter box cage. I was lucky enough to find a massive Mandeville this year that fills out the cage...

Get off that subreddit immediately and use chameleon academy as your source of truth. You will have a much better chameleon keeping experience.

Here is the cage on this cold February morning. Hard to believe in only two months it will be lush and green!

@crosscutts and @DeremensisBlue are working on a cage diy series right now. I hope to begin a 2024 outdoor keeping thread soon!

Depends on the species you are keeping. I have a nosy be panther and he does great outdoors from early May to late September. I live in the Midwest and as long as temps are between 55 and 95 he is good to go. If there are any really cold nights or really hot days I bring him back to the...

Patiently waiting for spring outdoor keeping to begin!...

I also have not seen these since the early 2000s. Crazy such a "common" species isn't more popular in captivity. Is anyone breeding these or was it imported?

That is very encouraging... I really wanted to keep Parsons outdoors but always thought they would be uncomfortable over 80-85.

What are you finding the temperature highs a Parsons is comfortable outdoors? I have always wanted a Parsons but I do worry about them overheating compared to a pardalis.
