Parson’s chameleon is the largest species of all extant chameleons. This species exceeds 60 cm in total length at maturity, with snout-vent measures averaging 20 – 30 cm. This species may weigh upwards of 700 g at maturity. Parson’s chameleon has a pinnochio-like appearance due to the larger nasal appendages.Their garish noses make them easy to identify as a species. Males have been known to have forked noses or very rarely, a pair of noses. Male coloration also is described as brighter or bolder than females.

These chameleons includes two subspecies: Calumma parsonii parsonii which has less noticeable colors, also has no dorsal crests and may reach up to 68 cm in length. Calumma parsonii cristifer has more blue hues on its body, a dorsal crest and may reach up to 47 cm in length. Parson’s chameleon is equipped with two front and two back legs, in which both the front and back limbs contain toes that are zygodactylous, two toes point forward and two toes point backward. Their limbs assist in both stable walks and climbs.

Parson’s chameleon has very noticeable eyes due to their bright orange color, contrasting from their green skin. These are very distinct, as their lower and upper eyelids are joined. This minimizes the area that the pupil can be exposed to light.
