I could not disagree with you more. I don't mean any disrespect but they scare the hell out of me. One bad encounter with one of those alien looking things jumping on me, and I now have had a life long phobia of them!
@NHenn
Well, to me, it seems that you are doing everything right.
Four unrelated captive bred lines is a respectable feat in itself.
I find myself learning new things all the time on here!
Thank you for elaborating on your experience and processes.
I hope that you will continue to update...

Thank you guys for sharing your knowledge. The information is greatly appreciated.
That YG is awesome. I do not think I will have the space and resources needed at this time to care for a Parson's the way I would like to. But, I do foresee myself...
I think if/when i step up to a Parson's I will be looking for a Yellow Giant.
@Action Jackson
Do you have any pictures of your YGs you could share?
Which variations of YGs are you referring to that you find attractive?
Yeah there seems to be quite the variation with these guys, more than just Green giants, yellow giants, yellow lips, and orange eyes.
I am quite fond of the yellow parson's with orange eyes.
Plus, imported chameleons are limited. Having captive bred populations makes them more available to the public. We haven't figured out how to breed many of them.
A lot of the time they inbreed because, for some reason those particular offspring were capable of breeding in captivity, and the...

F2 means generation 2. This baby chameleon is the second generation from the wild.
Meaning the first pair were wild, the second pair was captive bred, this guy is the offspring from them.
All of the captive bred ones, are likely to be inbred as well.. F stands for Filial.

I am getting a male panther juvy soon, I would love to hear about how you feed!
Any chance you could provide a list of the feeders you have, along with their scientific names?
Also, are you breeding your own colonies, if so which ones?
:)
UGH, parasites, and pathogenic bacteria... kinda scary... I'm going to do some more research.
I am with my GF now, she read your comment and laughed, then got serious, and told me not to ever do that either.
Thank you I will definitely look into a vet that does chameleons near me.
This is my first bio, I think I may grow more experimental over time! I think if you check back into this thread that you will find my enclosure differing from others (hopefully, at least a little bit).
But, this is the...
I recently reached out to another member on this site about my current project, as knowledgable as this person is I thought it would be in my best interest to open up this discussion to more minds.
I plan to keep a juvenile male Furcifer pardalis (either the Ambanja or Sambava locales)...
