How old is he? I like to compare age to size as I have my first parsonii and like to no it's doing well, mine is around 8 months old and weights around 55 grams

Love the colours on his eye how old is he

 

[ChrisZ]

I cant tell you exactly because I have been "scammed" when I bought him but i assume he is arround 8months

 

[chameleonkev]

Going of the last pic I would of thought hes a little over a year old

 

[ChrisZ]

He looks good. Lots of water as I'm sure you know. I staredt off using a heat lamp with mine but I don't anymore. Lowest temps mine see is maybe mid 40's but usually high 50's and above. Good luck with him.

He looks amazing! Parsons are just so special.......like the Rolls Royce of Chameleons
Congratulations on getting scammed!

How were you scammed?

 

[ChrisZ]

They told me that he was born in captivity but after I went to my vet to do a check-up for parasites we discovered some parasites that are not found in terrariums or what so ever. After this I contacted the store that sold me and I got a fair refund

 

[Rottsko]

i'm glad you got a fair refund. i've noticed a lot of new parsons lately. congrats on your new companion.

Reptile Pets Direct?

Not likely as he lives in the Netherlands.

 

[ChrisZ]

I bought him at a fair in Hamm (germany) from a store located in Paris

 

[Montium]

Most likely these folks http://www.lafermetropicale.com/

You hear of this problem alot with smuggling parsons chams out of maddi, makes you wonder how they get away with it

 

[ChameleonMom]

He's really very gorgeous! And yes, the Rolls Royce of chameleons! Does your fella have a name??
