    Outside keepers, how do you deter idiots?

    I too have both my parsonii outside for the summer and went HAM on a security setup. I live on a corner lot with a half-fenced off side yard facing the street in a nicer neighborhood, but since my lot was partially open I installed motion-activated night-capable security cameras, placed several...

    Ourside keepers, lightning bug/firefly season is getting near

    1.) Ummm THANK YOU for reminding me that fireflies exist and are highly toxic when ingested (Firefly toxicosis, it's a thing I guess!). I also have 0.5" mesh wire covering my parsonii enclosures and didn't even consider unwanted insects getting in. 2.) 12'x10' outdoor enclosure?! Hot damn, das...

    More Parson's Questions from Newbie

    I like to refer to their coloration as more of a toasted marshmallow and less as brown, haha. From what I've seen, baby Orange Eyes can vary considerably in coloration, but my girl from BION started getting her permanent greens at about 40 grams.

    Parson's keepers - how am I doing?

    @Jonah We're BION buddies! My female is from BION as well. Hopefully the transaction went well for you? Mine was delayed a month due to issues with documents. Here's a pic of her right out of the box:

    Reptar’s transformation!

    @Asour89 You've done a very nice job raising her up! So the pic I posted was when my female was about 5 months old and still under 30 grams. I think it's just the size of the image that's deceiving and makes her look much larger, haha.

    Reptar’s transformation!

    @Asour89 The brother is gorgeous! Do you own him as well? I don't claim to be a chameleon sex expert (a sexpert?! haha), but "he" looks identical to the female I used to own around the same age (pic below), so it's pretty much a guarantee you have a female at this point.

    Parson's keepers - how am I doing?

    Well so far, I’d say you’re off to a spectacular start with your husbandry and enclosure setup! I’m super envious of your greenhouse attachment! You seem very meticulous and well-versed in the research you’ve done to prepare for her. Also, your girl’s an absolute beaut! If you don’t mind me...

    Garrett’s orange eyes

    Boris update: I've officially had the guy for a year now and he'll turn 2 years old this month! He's been an absolute joy to work with and something I thought I wouldn't be able to do until a lot later in life. Since I received him last May he's gained almost 300 grams. He's put on over 70 grams...

    Rate my Local Zoos enclosure

    I don't know if the gecko fiasco was resolved or not, but I think that bad boy on the back wall is real, and likely a Uroplatus henkeli or of the Uroplatus genus, which are all endemic to Madagascar. I'd wager they didn't just randomly paint on a gecko floating in the sky on the mural, haha...

    Veiled chameleon loves to cuddle

    Dramaaa. No need to get defensive, people are honestly just trying to help! This forum is a wealth of knowledge and an incredible resource if you decide to use it that way! Regarding your girl’s behavior, just as others have said, people tend to anthropomorphize their chameleons and assign...

    Interesting noninhibitive birth defect in a female parsonii

    Haha, don't get be wrong I love Pearl girl and think she's a beautiful broad! This certainly doesn't detract from her whatsoever. I was more so try to emphasize from a scientific perspective that it's pretty incredible that this abnormality has no discernible impacts on her day to day behavior...

    Interesting noninhibitive birth defect in a female parsonii

    I was weighing my BION girl Pearl today and noticed something off about her eye. Her right eye appeared normal, but upon closer inspection her left eye has some sort of birth defect or congenital abnormality. As you can see from where the red arrow points to, her pupil is asymmetrical and...

    Garrett’s orange eyes

    @NorCalAnthony That cabinet conversion is beautiful! And I bet it took a hot sec to build, too! I was fortunate enough to grab a clear-sided DragonStrand atrium before Bill got too backed up with his orders, but boy does he fill up fast. I'm with you in that I'd rather shell out some extra $$$...

    Garrett’s orange eyes

    @NorCalAnthony Thor's lookin' fantastic! He's definitely got a little girth to him, that's for sure! :) Boris was only flashing those colors because he caught a glimpse of my female Pearl when I removed her from her enclosure and was losing his sh*t, haha. Doing that thing where they lift their...

    Outside question.

    What species is Grasshopper? 76 degrees is great for most species of chameleons, especially Vieleds and Panthers. just make sure she has access to shade and give her plenty of misting! I would leave her out there as long as you can in a secured enclosure - natural sunlight is one of the best...
