Paul jr. Color

[deerhunter]

Hi everyone it has been a while since I've stopped to say hello. Quick question to the parsons keepers. Is Paul jr. Ever going to change to a greenish blue hue? He still has his adolescent colors. He is doing great and eating like a porker! I tried to put a photo up but it says the app can do it? Anyways any thoughts? Thanks.

How old is he? What kind of Parson's is he?

 

[deerhunter]

Oops sorry. He is an orange eye. He was hatched in may of 2015 so a little over a year and a half. He does have blue green hues when sleeping. Not everywhere but a little bit.

Hello! Nice to see you back on the forums.

A picture would be very helpful.

Bad pic he's hunting!

Are his rostrals (think this is what it's called) showing already? Can't tell well from the pic... But in my opinion he still looks rather young. I think most orange eye males don't show adult colors until at least 2 years.

Yup. His rostrals are coming in great. I'm just curious I know there are a lot of other males out there that color up much faster. I'm sure by spring he will morph.

I wouldn't really worry about, all individual chameleons color up at their own rate, just like panthers and veileds etc. His color may be a different strain (though I am not sure what it is called with parsons), aren't there Giant Yellows? I am not sure if there are other different colors and stuff possible... I feel the need to research more on it. I would assume it is possible?

Cooper has his color before one year old. He changed from beige to blue almost over night. You can see his pictures before and after the color here: https://www.chameleonforums.com/med...dsome-parsonii-4-7-12-to-4-17-16.2407/?page=3

That's what I am waiting for that blue color. I have had him since September he has gotten bigger just patiently waiting for him to change. Maybe Paul Jr is a late bloomer!

My male is stuck on green phase at the moment, he's just over a year old and he never had baby colouration much, just pale green, he's still green but with a hint of blue so I'm waiting too! Everyday I look hoping he will look like he's changing lol.
I guess as everyone says they are individuals, my xanth was brown much much longer than normal then almost overnight he went bright green.
