Hello All!
Lately, I have been deeply intrigued with a couple different species of chameleons thanks to jpowell86, jajeanspierre, and jannb. Of those intriguing species, I have taken a particular liking to the Quadricornis/Gracilior, Meller's, and the Parson's. If I had to choose which one I would enjoy the most however, I think Parson's may very well be the most interesting to me. I have researched only but a few chameleon species, and already I find them taking up all of my free time in school and at home. Like jannb said in a thread once, "first they take your money, then all of your time, and finally your home.." I find this to be extremely accurate!
Among my many hours of research however, I cannot seem to find much info on Parson's. I found a page out of a book in a google doc, a page in a book that I own, and a thread right here on the forums. Not enough information, unfortunately! I was wondering about basic husbandry, costs, where to buy, diet; all of the lovely reptile things. I know so far they need rather extensive enclosures, a gourmet diet of all different sorts of critters, and that they hibernate. Other than that, they are merely a search on google images for me. If anyone has any info to offer, it would be greatly appreciated. This summer, I will be coming into a large sum of money that I am considering spending on a Parson's. Thank you so much!
