How old,

for now i kind of want to say female, but i am i NO way trained in sexing parsonii.

 

[evilalive]

She is ~2 months old and kinda hope that she is a He though....

Looks like a male to me. His eyes are a little too yellow to be a female and he has the beginnings of rostrals, so yea he is a he.

Woo, that's cool. Thanks Chris of your kind confirmation.

LOL, like i said i don't know jack about parsonii, but ill keep in mind what clean line said.

parsons are really cool, so yellow eyes are a trait males hold true to?

I've been seeing more and more keepers with Parsonii lately. Where are you guys getting them from?

 

[evilalive]

Mine was all the way from Japan and kinda lost in translation from the beginning though.....

 

[TonyRockyHorror]

evil,

What do you mean lost in translation? lol Did you actually ordered a gargoyle gecko and got this surprise instead?

They are beautiful chameleons, though, and possibly my favorite - even though I've never had the chance to even keep one Maybe one day . . .

Jealous

I sure wish they'd be available in Canada one day... It's safe to say that probably 90% of Chameleon keepers dream of one day caring for one.

They have been available in Ontario a couple of times in the last few years...but I haven't heard of them being here in the last few months.

(BTW...some females can have eye turrets that are quite orange or yellow.)

A lot of the keepers you will see on the boards with Parsonii will be from overseas. Same with a lot of the other rare hard to find species, because of the export ban after '94. Less paperwork involved when they don't have to journey around the globe I imagine.
