which one is actually the largest by weight and which one by length?

thankyou

Alright lets get this party started. Who all will reply to this debate with an opinion? clinical proof? Remember your buddies yahoo website and his opinion don't count as clinical proof. *Wink* can't wait to see the replies to this one.

I don't think there is much debate on this one. Parsoni is a much bigger animal overall, but Oustalet's is leaner and longer. Some Meller's can get nearly as large too.

One of my Parsonii tips the scales at just over 900gms.
Lengthwise I would say its a toss up.

Parsons in weight definitely..Oustalets have the potential to be the longest chameleon on average..

>>thankyou

Calumma parsonii parsonii are by far the heaviest species with males reaching over 900 grams. Furcifer oustaleti technically have the official record for length but there are reports of male C. p. parsonii being longer, they've just not been confirmed.
