Parson's Chameleons...?

[Simon Sansom]

Hi folks,

I'm wondering if anyone in Canada works with/breeds Parson's Chams?
I've always been fascinated by them.

Thanks,

Simon

Humm as far as i know i have seen many people with them in the states, I seen a site down there where they had hatched some babies and were selling them for 2000 minimum... I love parsons but as far as i know i have never seen them here

There are a few in Canada in VERY private collections and I’m not sure if they are breeding them yet. The Parsons are definitely on my “want, but will probably never get” list.

Parsons are the largest chameleon (well in weight anyway) they are the gold of chameleons, they take tunns af work and have very special care needs. As trace said on my want list prob never have one but if i ever have the means id jump at the chance to get one. there are pics on adcham and cham journals take a look they look like the Old Wise Cheif's of the chameleon relm lol

The female is about 15" total length (she's only a year and a half old) and the male was over 2' total length (he was photographed in Madagascar).
