I'm happy to say that I’ll be getting two juvenile captive European bred Parsonii in a few weeks. I’m super excited and nervous about this opportunity to work with Parsonii. I understand that Parsonii pose a significant husbandry and financially commitment but feel that I’m up to the task. I’m working to get the care sheets and enclosures in order. I've worn the forum search button out collecting Parsonii requirements from all the threads available. My notes are below. Can those with some experience please critique my notes?
Thank you! Jasonii
