First of a small clutch of 12 to hatch, more eggs shrinking and babies on the way!

How old are the babies before you sell them. My weather will get ugly very soon. I could be waiting until March or April to be ready to buy one from you.

 

[Garrett]

I think this one is a little over a month old.
Laurie, last time around I was making them available early spring, these might even be a little later since they hatched so late this year. This clutch is really small, I only have 8 at the moment.

Here's one of my holdbacks from 2014 as a comparison, they really start to grow after the first year.

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.

I like really really love them Parsonii so I've read a caresheet and they sound like a lot of work so I doubt I'll ever get one...

Guess I'll stay with the pick from you guys

All chameleons are work. Seriously.

Of course I meant compared to my current chameleon (Jacksonii)...

Holy Smokes Ralph!

 

[Chachi]

Do you have a plan for the price?

 

[Garrett]

Holy smokes is right, mine don't usually get that size until year 3
Chachi, I don't think there will be many available from this clutch, 2017 on the other hand.. stay tuned.

You easily have some of the best experience around in keeping these in captivity, I have no idea when you started keeping them but on my end I was on the front line when these would come in as imports and my store could buy them for $200 wholesale. I learned a lot about rehabbing them and what worked when it came to getting weight back on them.

Lots of water.
Lots of food, that being anything they wanted and not just a diet of insects. To me that's like a human only eating veggies and drinking water.

Anybody ever see a huge chameleon track and eat a small bird? I have. That told me decades ago these little dinosaurs need appropriate sized food items beyond crickets, they eat whatever they want when they are big enough.

Add in the gut loaded insects, a careful system of monitoring that, and Atlas is eating well.

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

Wow, that's as passive as I've ever seen Laurie!!
Maybe these parson chams will have a beneficial affect on her.
