These are great pictures of healthy, happy Parsonii. I've been concerned that Parsonii have stricter nutritional needs, because the heads and casques of CB animals in some published photos are "not quite right." But yours look beautiful. Congratulations. Do you have eggs yet?

Vince takes excellent care of all of his
chameleons, and it shows in the overall
health of his stock.

The parsonii I have may be one that you're commenting about (odd casque shape) Here's a photo

He was born with this deformity.
The mother's nutrition, along with
incubation regiment may have caused it, no one's quite sure. He is looking much better than he did when he was small, his casque was really curled over forward. From what i've noticed it's just a physical deformity, he's happy and healthy otherwise.

Dear Kurpak,
I saw the picture of your Parsonii with its deformed casque, but I wasn't thinking of him when I wrote my post. Over the years I've seen several CB Parsonii that didn't look quite right. Years ago, a lot of CB panthers also seemed a little off, but you rarely see that these days because we've all learned more about these animals and there are better products on the market. Hopefully, future CB Parsonii will look great. It seems that there are some beauties out there right now.
In terms of your animal, as you know, deformities can happen even under the best of circumstances. It doesn't necessarily reflect your care. I'm glad that he is healthy and happy.
