hello I will start by saying I have around 15 years experience keeping herps but trimmed my collection down significantly before a move and job change. I'm now looking to get back into chams and have kept and bred Furcifer pardalis, Trioceros melleri (only a single individual for several years no breeding), and Trioceros jacksonii. I really want to acquire/keep Calumma parsonii but have heard they are quite high maintenance even on the chameleons scale and so am inquiring to you chameleon gurus whomever you may be what a good alternative would be with as close to the same care/requirements as the Parsons but perhaps a bit more forgiving (if only marginally so) and with slightly less space reqs. Call it a test run but with a species I'm sure I'll enjoy in it's own right as well.

Thx! -Ryan
