My Parsonii Padre’s 3rd Birthday Photos

Happy Birthday Padre!!! I am so glad I got to come up and see him and the awesome enclosure in person! I think Padre is the lucky one!!! ;)
 
Rob, In the winter I kept him quite cold.....50's at night and mid 60's in the daytime. Once or twice a week I'd warm him up in the daytime to the mid 70's. In the summer his high is around 78 and his low in the mid 60's and a basking area of about 80. He even gets a little warmer when he catches the morning sun in his window.

GREAT info Jann!! Thanks :D The summer temps are not much different than the ambient temps I use for my panthers but those winter temps are the crux for sure!!

JUST FANTASTIC shots!!!
 
awww Jan, I never get tired of looking at Padre -- he is one handsome fellow. Glad he made it through his winter months okay. Is it brumation like other reptiles?

And very Happy B-Day to Padre!

Thanks again for the nice comments and bday wishes.

I think Padre's winter mode would be similar to burmation in other reptiles.
 
ok ,well you have all i have ever wanted!you live my dream!i cant stop looking at Padre!can you adopt me and let me feed him?
 
Amazing and very beautiful.

Just saw a couple in a shop for sale and the male is doing so poorly. Will die soon. Tag is 20K here for the two (for all the Americans it it about 3K). I feel like rescuing them but the price tag is too hefty.

And the husbandy is hard here in Hong Kong where the climate is extreme and hot and very humid during summer.
 
Congrats! The milestones are always best celebrated! Hopefully you have a big juicy bug for that big guy. Beautiful cham and beautiful enclosure. Wish you many more years of enjoyment.
 
Thank you for the comments on Padre. They are very much appreciated.

Ulrich, that is so sad. Padre is CB from the Ukraine. Right now I don't have a female.

You should get one as you seem to be one of the few who can keep them successfully. Keep up the good work. I admire you. Maybe I should buy the female and ship to you with no cost at all.

Thank you for your very kind words. We do have a few successful keepers here in the US but to my knowledge none that have been able to breed "YET".
