I recieved these C. parsonii juvies beginning of 2010.
During the past winter, I lower the temperature a bit for them to lower the metabolism a bit and do some rest. As it is spring now, so I have been raising the temp. gradually for the past 2 weeks. Tonight it's the first time they eat in 2011.

Since November 2010, I step down the temp. by ~1Celsius/ 2day, until 14Celcius. I still provide misting but only 3 times/ week. All my lightings are also reduced to 5hrs/day. Basking lamp only goes on for 5min each morning.
Coz of my wife and kid, I was not at home for the whole December, so I was unable to observe anything. But from Jan - late Feb, I have only seen my chameleons drank once, also I have not seen any of them bask.
There was not much weight lost, all the other adults started eating as soon as I raise the temp back up to 17C, while these juvies only start eating tonight.
The following months will be the time for their highest growth rate, will keep you all updated on the growth of these little guys.
