The white rings around the toes I think is a characteristic of juvenile C. globifer.

Sorry, but I'm not sure. Usually parsons cost over well over 1 thousand dollars. If you got him cheaper than that then you got a steal or you didn't get a parsons.

Perhaps the cost isn't the same in Thailand as it is here in the US. Price really shouldn't be a tool used to determine a species.

I saw a parsons ad in kingsnake a few months ago. It was from Thailand and the parsons only costed $750!

As has been mentioned, the price is a horrible way to identify a species, especially when comparing two similarly priced species. Further, the price of different species varies in different countries and in Thailand they typically are significantly less expensive than the US.
At any rate, additional photos would help make an ID on this chameleons but it does appear to be a juvenile Calumma globifer.

And, aren't juvenile parsoni much more orange overall rather than striped until they are much older?

Can anyone help me identify my baby for me? I purchase he/she as a Parson, but there're white rings around he/she fingers.
Photo of him/her.
Another one - Sorry for poor quality photo...
Any advice would be really appreciated. Thanks.
Here are some Pics I borrowed from imike88's post. to show side by side a baby Parsons. I also see NO Parsonii features. I to feel you were miss sold.
Still a nice Chameleon you have recieved.
O, and I also added a young Calumma Globifer picture (last one) & that should sum it up. Also borrowed that picture from Mark Tenheggeler's post on Calumma Globifer

Actually Mark Tenheggeler's picture of a C.globifer is a sub adult and is not showing juvenile globifer colors. There is a couple pictures of juvenile globifers on Addchams site.

Is there still such a site. I believe it has been down for quite sometime.

Yea, I have Parsons Chameleons and what I was getting at is he did not recieve a Parsonii. They have thin barring with no real visable horizontal stripe. Even when mine (Parsonii's) were very small their bars were very thin. Globifers have thicker barring with a Panther Chameleon type horizontal stripe. Just as the picture of this Baby posted here, and the Globifer in the supplied picture show.

Addcham is down! I have been studying with my head in the book with out a break way to long this year. If it is not down they had a couple of good pictures. If it is down there are a couple other decent picture of juvenile globifer floating around on the web.

The unfortunate situation here is that a Chameleon was sold with improper identification. I wouldnt know what either Calumma would sell for in that Country. But if the selling price was far different for each this could lead to many problems far beyond not getting what you were aquiring & purchasing. Not to mention if Globifers were cheaper and intentionally being sold as Parsonii for greater profit? This poster should check deeper into the Sale?
Has anyone seen or purchased Calumma Globifer in this Country recently? and if you care what are they selling for?

Calumma globifer
Thank you everyone. After reading all replies and seen photos of other in google, I believe mine is Calumma globifer. I was first sold as Parson's. The price is cheaper than Parson on the market at the time. But I do not mind as I like this baby as well.
Anyway, I am hoping to get the true Parsonii soon. I will post photos again once I got them. Thanks!
