That to me looks like a Parsonii. Not many people breed them in the US because they are very hard creatures to take care of, need A LOT OF care, and need a BIG habitat. Some people were able to breed them in other parts of the country though.

[Pumpkinface]

could you imagine that thing squeezing your fingers?!

You are looking at an adult parsons, they are gentle giants with velvet skin. That chameleon would run $ 2500 to $ 5000, if you could get it.

It's looks great. I wish to have one pair. I planning to do so now. Currently I have a same one in 12cm. I hope can keep him for long. ;D

The photo is a bit distorted so it looks bigger in relation to her arm than it should. Yes, Parson's are big but not THAT big! Yes, they have a finger numbing grip too! I've met a few in the wild...some were very gentle and a couple of the females we found were downright nasty.

Did you say you have a parson? How much did you pay? What kind of setup do you have for him/her?

 

[weezyboi94]

would'nt mind one of those...

 

[Chameleon Loco]

parsons are like the elephants of the trees i would love to see the ban on exporting them lifted but control the numbers that come out .

A parsons needs a huge enclosure. Along with heavy plant life that can support there wieght. There expensive beautiful rare and a lot of research must be done before purchse. U can see why people are atracted to them.
