Parson's chameleon inhabits humid forests of northern and eastern Madagascar. A large body, raised casque, turret-like eyes and grasping feet give it a distinctive appearance; color varies among populations. It is kept and bred by experienced chameleon specialists. Housing needs substantial leafy climbing space, UVB, good airflow, regular hydration, cooler nights and insect prey, with individuals managed to avoid aggression.
Females lay eggs, which can require exceptionally long incubation. International trade is regulated under CITES Appendix II.
