My newest panther chameleon picked up at the emerald city reptile expo. June 2012 in Seattle.
Not sure of his local but I am thinking a cross of Ambanja, Nosy Faly, Nosy Be.
OMG this is the same Cham? He looks amazing... I take back what I said earlier he looks at least part Ankaramy. I still don't think full because he has so much yellow/orange and his bars are so defined... but wow is he gorgeous. What a fantastic pick up! Maybe Ankaramy, Nosy Mitsio cross? I am...
My local pet store sells baby "unsexed" Veileds for 175-210. They sell baby Jacksons for 150-175. IT'S CRAZY. Local people in my area on CL sell there sick and miss-labeled chameleons for way way to much also. The same petstore got in a adult Veiled once and wanted 330 for him. They also keep...
I believe Ankaramy are only Pink, never green/blue. He looks Ambanaja to me... I am still learning just how to define locals though. All I know is he is not Ankaramy.
Some people think if you over use UVB lighting or use to high of a output you can damage your Chameleons eyes. However I have always had the "more is best" attitude. I use a 8 Lamp High Output Fluorescent T5 Light System and every bulb is 5.0 . I have a small closet for my chams and the entire...
Oh I also agree with everybody about the temps, when I kept Jscksons I used a 60watt blub but for a huge custom enclosure with large mesh allowing a lot of heat to escape. The temps never got over 80 unless it was uncontroable in the summer. I also turned all forms of heat off at night allowing...
Hopefully the form creaturelover123 posted will help us determine if it is a problem having to do with the enclosure that you can easily fix... like it being to hot, to dry... ect however if everything checks out fine, chameleons developing MBD often walk on the bottom of there cage, because...
It depends on what Cham. All my panthers I have ever owned I held daily. My Jacksons when I had free time usually once or twice a week and my Veilds probably once a month really quick for deep cage cleaning and a up close look over.
Every panther I have ever owned woukd beg at the door to...
His legs look a little weird to me also, I would guess beginning stages of MBD too but especially the way he is using the branch as support for his body. Sometimes phone pictures can warp the angles a bit...
Otherwise he does not look underfed and his eyes do not look sunken in, and then...
His size and weight look good and his eyes don't look sunken. However he looks too drak/patchy. He should be a solid light green possibly with blue/yellow/darker green hints... absolutely no grey/black/brown. How long ago did he start his shed... is he retaining shed?
Sounds adorable! My old Panther Cham would do that to everybody... specifically me. He also preferred to stay on my body. When anybody would walk in the room he would run to the main branch by the door of the cage and stretch his arms out like he was saying "holdddd me". He had a 175gal screen...
Stoneleon: You are correct. Kammers also has a male named Elrohir I see high resemblance to, in my opinion I think he is a Nosy Be & BB Ambanja cross... Oh and congratulations on your future Cham!
Pssh: You could not be more correct, I was just so excited I just got him I wanted to see if...
Slang1 : That was my first impression... however I am having doubts now lol.
Benton1576 : It would be amazing if you where correct. I was just hoping he would stay White/Light Blue into adulthood... however if he turned out to be Nosy Boraha that would be even more impressive.
Thanks...
CB = Captive Born
CBB = Captive Bred and Born.
CB = The eggs could have been harvested wild, incubated in captivity then hatched in captivity so Captive Born.
CBB = The parents where both bred on captivity then the female laid in captivity then they where hatched in captivity... Captive Bred...
I tried to emphasize on his red speckling you can see some on his tail and his body... mostly his belly and a little going up his bars. However there is not very much at all. His eyes are a little difficult to notice the red because I was giving him a bath and he was cleaning his eye balls lol
