Jann,
He looks magnificent ! I last had parson's on 2002, when I had a dozen, sub-adult to adult, but was also transitioning from Bebe Blu Chameleons in Maryland, to The Chameleon Company in Florida, and all ended up being sold off before Florida, to folks who failed 100% with them.
But as I have experience with them, and so many members here do not, can you describe for members what the texture of the skin is like with your parson, as compared to other chams ? I always compared the skin of a parson as being almost as touching velvet, as the scales are so fine, and almost "soft". It is one thing that makes them even more unique than they appear in a photo.
My experience was also that parsons never "run" as we would describe panthers and veileds and others as doing, in that they are a bit as a koala bear in movement. And that they also do not jump. Frankly, because of they body mass, I think falls could be most destructive.
Inquiring minds will gobble up your observations ! Thanks.

Thank you for the nice comments about Cooper. I am so excited to see him turning blue after seeing him tan for the past 7 months. He is the sweetest boy and I have throughly enjoyed taking care of him even if he is an extremely picky eater.
Yes, Jim he is as soft as velvet, extreemly laid back and very docile. I can see why they are often called the gentle giants.

Cooper has gotten so colorful since November! Unbelievable.

Very nice. He's looking good.
It's been years (nearly twenty) since I had mine. I'd love to see some pictures of your free range and the equipment you are using nowadays.

Wow he's ginormous Jann! What are you feeding him?!? His little sister(?) is half his size. Sweat Pea barely weighs 50g soaking wet! She actually has a pretty healthy appetite although she's cut back a lot since winter hit.
Sweat Pea is also starting to show some color too. She's showing some green or blue(I'm not certain which color yet) on her head and a little on her body. I'll post some pictures soon. Happy New Year!

Very impressive Jann. I dream of meeting or owning one in the future. Are they a larger species than Melleri?
