Gravid Parsonii!

[Chuck G]

I have 3 girls possibly 4 that are gravid now.
2 that could be carrying fertilized eggs and the other 2 wouldn't have viable eggs as they haven't been with a male.
This is one of the girls that has been with a male. She is ravenous with her eating. I seriously have to limit her food intake or she would explode.
Anyone that has considered getting one,please be aware you will spend way more money after you get them than the purchase price. I just spent $1,000 on one of my males for surgery and meds and another $600 on thorough annual checkups. Having said that,they are my favorite chameleon hands down and I hope to always have one around.

Best of luck, hope they're fertile.

Sexy soon to be mamma.

Congrats! Hopefully we will see an update about the eggs and the babies that hopefully come out of them!

I can second that, Chuck. Just keeping them housed properly, watered, and fed costs me more than the rest of my herd combined.

She's a gorgeous female! I want to see some babies Chuck.

Sorry to hear that one of the boys has had health issues. I hope he is well now. I find that all chameleons are very expensive to keep BUT so worth it.

She looks really gravid

Is the same one gravid as the one you already have a clutch from?
How many eggs do you have left from the clutch you already have?

She has laid before as well as another girl. The eggs all spoiled after about 2 months. There was never an observation of a breeding so I am assuming they were not viable. With this girl this time the male had mounted her so only time will tell. She is getting close to laying at this point.
Thanks for everyone's well wishes and finger crossing. Especially the people that are crossing everything!
