They came from an extremely trusted source, as wanted to ensure I got captive bred.

Thanks Tom, the house of lurve will have its work cut out these are bloody hard to bred succesfully to hatching stage.  Very steep learning curve indeed, but thats part of the love of herps.

No point in it being easy!
Do you know how many times these have been bred in captivity?

I dont have precise data but a few times yes, there are a few successful breeding groups being kept, a few keepers in the UK, but you dont get to hear much about the Parsonii. Good solid information on them is extremely sparse and breeding results / information does not seem to get widely published anywhere, unless anyone knows any different ?
A good article is made by Michael Troger taken from the Chameleon Information Network, very informative and contains solid information.
