Parsonii hatching 2.0

[bobcochran]

Atlas was just 74 grams when he arrived and 11 months old. 16 months later he's just shy of 500g so Garrett isn't kidding about that growth spurt.

Lots of water
Lots of food.
Be prepared.

Ralph, did you have to git a new scale?

And I was going to call your hoe a pig!

So me not being ready until late spring should work well, and if it is later, i will just happily wait.

That would be my best guess, these guys got a late start this year.

 

[Garrett]

So I just weighed my largest male, he's a few grams over 400. I guess I'm not that far off from Atlas the destroyer
I certainly don't pump these guys full of food, and my temps are on the cool side most of the year so they tend to grow slow and steady for me.
I remember seeing parson's in the 90's but never bought one, my first was one of the cb animals that came in around 2003.

You dodged a hell of a bullet by not buying any. You don't want the kind of experience I have, however it is useful now decades later but how many critters died to get it? It is why my bucket list includes me hatching out one clutch of this particular species. I need to give back in some small way.

I agree back in the 90s which I called the dark age there was not a lot of information around for this type of species only from (CIN&STF) .. back then we as parsons keeper kept track on certain blood lines of this beautiful animal so we new who had what so we don't cross contaminate the blood lines...Man those were the days...
