Subadult female Calumma p. parsonii (Vanquish) drinking (10-13-04)

Hello Chris,

If you don't mind me asking, where did you get your Parsons from??? Very beautiful animals.... How often do you go to Madagascar???

James

They were purchased from NERD, one from each of their shipments.

Hey Chris,

Some guys have all the luck!!!

I need to keep my eyes open for Parsons for sale.

Looks like your animals are well taken care of...

Can you describe your set-up..

James

James,

Each are housed individually. I use a 7' (tall) x 6' x 3' enclosure. I have a MV bulb on one side of the cage with the other side lit by flourescent bulbs. This way, I have a UV gradient in the enclosure. I provide multiple basking spots in different areas (although they don't tend to bask much). I keep their enclosures coolish with access to the basking spots to warm up. I have a temp drop at night. I have an automatic misting system that runs twice a day for a half hour each time. I use a number of different ficus trees (few different species) and other plants along with a wide range of branches of different sizes throughout the enclosure.
Chris
