Hey everyone,
So my mother-in-law found a panther chameleon in her garden a few days ago. My family and I were actually away on spring break vacation so she called my dad over to catch it. I only live a couple of blocks away from her so they thought it was one of mine that had escaped.
Well...
Hello everyone,
I know I read a thread recently where a recent successful Parsons breeder posted details on their incubation protocol and husbandry, but I can't find it for the life of me! Can anyone happen to point me to the thread?
I kept my pair together all summer in my GOC and...
Hello everyone,
It started three days ago on 7/22:
And 21 have hatched so far:
The Sire is Noki from Komeleons and the Dame is Maso-vatomamy from Kammerflage Kreations. Both are from the Ambilobe locales. I can't wait to see what the males turn out to look like!
I've got at...
Hello everyone,
I was curious to know if your Parsons are still hibernating? My two females seem to be done with hibernation and are eating pretty regularly now. However, my male seems to be still very lethargic and hasn't shown any interest in eating yet. I'm just getting a little...
Hi everyone,
I'm really into saltwater reefing and saw this on a popular reefing blog, which is funny because the lights were made for reptiles but they were talking about using it for reefing.

Hello everyone,
Now that winter is approaching, for you Parsons owners I was wondering what's the lowest temps you're keeping Parsons at?
Thanks in advance.
I went to check up up on Olive Oyl and Popeye this evening and found them bedding down for the night right next to each other. This is another reason I'm pretty sure that Olive Oyl is a female. Out of the entire big cage, they decide to find two branches right above each other to roost for the...
I saw the coolest thing this morning. I know Parsons(Olive Oyl) likes water a lot, but mine seems to be really enjoying the water drip. Here's a video of her taking a little shower:

I went to check up on my Parsons this morning and my boy, Popeye was showing some amazing colors. He seemed so content. This is his favorite basking spot in the morning. I thought I'd share a couple of shots:
Here's his girl (hopefully) Olive Oyl. She wasn't basking just yet. I...
For you guys who have a m/f pair of Parsons, do any of you keep them continually in the same cage, assuming the cage is large enough to house both of them?
Do you foresee any problems keeping them caged together?
Thank you in advance!
I just received my baby Parsons today! It came from 'Charlie' who had a listing on kingsnake from european bloodlines. I've been looking for a mate for my male adolescent Parsons and I couldn't pass this opportunity up, especially considering the price.
Here are a couple of quick pics I...
Hello everyone,
So I finally finished putting together my Parsons' outdoor cage together. His name is Sling-Blade, by the way. It's a powder-coated metal outdoor aviary measuring approximately 7'x5'x6'. The cage is located in a very well shaded part of my yard. It doesn't get much direct...
Hello everyone,
My female Nosy Be laid her first infertile clutch a couple weeks ago so I thought I'd introduce my male Nosy be to her for the first time today. She was receptive to him, but he didn't seem interested. He climbed on the branches around her for a little bit and then went off...
My Nosy Be girl laid her first infertile clutch 2 days ago and I thought all went well other than it being a small clutch - 10 eggs. But the last two days I've seen 2 or 3 eggs at the bottom of her cage each day. She obviously didn't lay all her eggs. She seems fine though. She's been eating...
Hi everyone,
My little Nosy Be girl is laying infertile eggs for the first time. I'm a little worried because she is a little young. I have a couple questions:
1. How long does the process usually last? She's been at it for about 2 hours now. She's deep within her hole right now...
Hey everyone,
Well I took my Parsons to the vet today for the first time. I've had it about 2 weeks now and I wanted to get a checkup and fecal test done on it. I'm happy to say it passed with flying colors. No parasites in the fecal test and the vet, Dr. Greek, said he was super healthy...
Hello everyone,
I know there's a thread with the regional herp vet list, but I was wondering if anyone had any personal recommendations for a good herp vet in SoCal, preferably in LA but I'm willing to drive for a great one.
There's nothing wrong, but I want to take my Parsons in for a...
Hello everyone,
I'm currently planning a large outdoor cage for a parsons. The cage will be located in the garden. The cage will sit either on a concrete slab or a brick slab depending on if I need to install a drainage line or not. I'm worried that since the water will be dripping all day...
Hi everyone, so my cham obsession is full blown crazy now. I've been seriously considering in buying a Parsons and I want to be able to house it correctly. Living near the beach in SoCal, I think it's perfect for a parsons temperature wise. It hardly ever gets lower than 50 in the winter and...
