Awesome work man. Congrats!

What was incubation time for this clutch?

If I keep the passion I have now for a couple years... I would love to learn about and care for one of these chameleons. So so gorgeous!

Beautiful photos - the last one looks like The Thinker to me!

Congratulations Garrett! Great summer climate in Washington perfect for your Parsonii. Should turn out to be a great summer especially if you have a good hatch rate.

Best Regards

Gratz bud. That 2014 critter you posted, what's his weight and is he related to Atlas?

These eggs were laid on Feb 22nd 2016, so this first baby is pretty early at 14 months 3 weeks!

This one is an Atlas clutchmate, he's around 500g

They're doing "o.k." The male is pretty old and is having some health issues, I'm hopeful he'll stick around and try breeding this summer, we'll see.

I thought he was bigger based on the picture. He's beautiful bud.

Just weighed Atlas today, he's at 652g. Getting big.

Damn!! 652gm!!! What's he eating now rats?LOL..,

Well since you asked.

He eats every other day. Usually two large orange head roaches. Once every other week he gets a well fed small mouse.

Insects are gut loaded with fruits or brewer's yeast (for the B1 these giants need) while dusted with either Repashy calcium/medium D3 (most of the time) or Herptivite (a few times a month). I do mix in bee pollen with the Repashy.

Seems a weird supplementation schedule to some I know, but then I'm weird keeper. I monitor my critters daily. I use common sense in keeping them. For the most part over the decades this line of thought has worked.

I just wish I could build a greenhouse on the side of my house like Garrett and keep a row of Parson cages!!! Damn that would be sweet (and much easier on maintenance).
