Hi David,
I have cared about chameleon long time ago; but, back then when i was at a different country. And, the care was different compared with US way.

Now, as I returned to my old passion in keeping for chameleon, I haven't been properly introduced to the history of it.

I knew you've been keeping chams for so long.. but, I was wondering if you would not mind enlightening me about the controversial topics of Calumma parsonii.

I just knew a very brief history of US breeders have never been successfully breed them.. and after that it gets blurry fast.
as people been very secretive about it and the fact that this kind of question always spark intense argument everytime being mentioned in a public forum, i thought it best if I just ask individual people.
What exactly happened there? and why the hush hush and sensitivity among US herp hobbyist arose whenever the name parsoni mentioned?

Perhaps, you can just email me directly.. if it is better to do so..
