Albino anything that doesn't have fur, usually have a sensitivity to sunlight, maybe that species cant become purely white because of the amount if UVB and sun it needs??? just a guess though

Albinism occurs in the non-furry world (think fish, birds, nocturnal snakes, other lizards, amphibians, turtles, tortoises). How many captive bred morphs are manipulated albinos? A diurnal basking herp that is also albinistic isn't going to survive all that well if it can't tolerate sunlight. The whole physiology behind cham color is so different than mere steady state skin pigments.

I was just wondering why there are no albino chameleons. Or if there are there must be very very few of them. Any info, pictures, or stories about them? Just curious.

I actually own an albino panther chameleon he’s my first reptile pet and I got him in August. His name is Fry and he just turned 7 months on the 19th (the first photos were when we first got him the last photo is him last week)

Is that a female panther?

I think its a boy I adopted him from petco cause they used the wrong bulbs for him so his sister died but he was just burned that’s what the girl told me they didn’t know the sex I looked up a lot of videos on how to tell the sex and he does have the buldge under his tail that’s y I assume it’s a male

That is nowhere close to albino. Just a regular female panther.

Are you sure cause when we first got it it had a large noticeable buldge and now I do t see it that much

I’ve had my chameleon for 5 months and I’m now finding out it’s a girl I guess my vet was wrong idk I’m mad confused

Yupe definitely female. And as others have said she is showing gravid colours. Better get a laying bin ready.

 

[Alize_725]

Thank you it makes sense now that I think of it since for the past week she’s been going to the bottom I’m on my way now to get a pot and bedding

How wide should the bin be I know it has to be atleast 8 inches tall
