I didn't know that apparently Parson's...

[Olimpia]

...Can weigh up to 24 pounds!

Jann and the rest of the Parsonii Keepers must have great arms!





Obviously this is wrong, for anyone who isn't familiar with Parson's. I was trying to look up their average weight for something and came across this, which looks like someone's school project. I just thought it was worth a giggle!

i'd be darn scared of that cham!
sheesh prolly take my arm off!

Chuck's Herc is the largest I've ever heard of weighing in at over 900 grams. That's what? About two pounds?

 

[maxttu]

That's ridiculous! 24 pounds? Holy schnikes!

 

[Olimpia]

Yes, that's just under 2 pounds. Which is still amazing considering how little panthers and veileds weigh by comparison.

Can you imagine if Hera weighed 24 pounds? It would be like holding my dog with one arm.

1.984 to be exact...

Maybe they meant to say 2-4 pounds? But still! A 4 pound cham?

 

[Chameleonmaster]

That's still big 2-4 pounds!

 

[Olimpia]

I know, that still is very big. My arm got tired holding Jann's male for a little while, I'm too used to my chameleons being relatively small by comparison. Although my Meller's is just under 1 pound right now, I can't believe that there are chameleons twice as big as she is.

 

[pssh]

Maybe they meant ounces? That would be more reasonable and within the size range.

 

[Olimpia]

Perhaps, but I had to laugh. How stealthy is a 24 lb chameleon stomping through trees and shrubs? lol Especially when they sleep on the ends of branches.

 

[pssh]

Can you imagine the poop you would have to clean up? blah!

 

[Olimpia]

Or the size of feeders you'd have to use?!

 

[Chameleonic]

Or the size of feeders you'd have to use?!

Lol, it would mean any dogs or cats would be in trouble

 

[chameleonkev]

24lb lol that's how heavy my son was at 15 months old

 

[Hoj]

a 24 pounder could guard the house for you

 

[Decadancin]

That's ridiculous! 24 pounds? Holy schnikes!

Probably a Texas born cham! Everything bigger?!?

 

[maxttu]

Probably a Texas born cham! Everything bigger?!?

More like a Japanese Sumo Cham!

 

[SMCNARY]

If there was such a beast at 24 pounds it could take your head off from across the roomlol

Just was thinking ,do the math 2 lbs and probably what 28" ? this thing would be like a large croc but would not even have to get close and you, I think I would rather deal with the croc

 

[Solid Snake]

Im pretty sure Donahue weighs a good 20-30lbs, so it cant be that off...
