Male Head bobbing - Parsonii question?

[SSimsswiSS]

Since the Parsonii forums have disbanded, thought I'd throw this question outhere. I observed for the first time, one of my young 2 - 3 year old male do a brief courtship dance yesterday. Anybody else have record of approximate age there male/s became active? He was in sight of a female. For those in the know, yes it was raining lightly. Here's picture of him at one and two years old.

I had a male parsonii that I raised from a juvenile start to do that between 2-2.5 years old.

This is kind of off topic, but what is the av. life expectancy of a parsons?

Not sure. But it has been said their a long lived chamleon species. With proper care 10 + years is a realistic expectation.

Thanks for the info. Chris! It will go down in my record keeping.

Not sure why the Parsonii Forums went down. Number of keepers is small in comparison to this forum. Costs of hosting a site, lack of interest / information sharing. I'm guess it was more than just one reason it shut down.

Great footage Ruscon! That's a nice big pair. Do you have approximate age, or history on these guys?

 

[ruscon]

Actually that footage was from about 3 years ago. I had 2 females which i raised from 4-5 inches. The male i bought from a friend of mine; i think he came from one of those nerd shipments. Females were a little over 4 years and the male was about 3 and a half.

Steve the Houston Zoo raises Parsons, I am guessing they would have information if you called or emailed them. Your animals are beautiful.
