i tried searching on the forum but couldn't find anything. i know panther chameleon genes are mostly carried threw the mothers bloodline (PLEASE CORRECT ME IF IM WRONG HERE) is there any way a panther cham could ever be a true albino? what about jackson chams?
 
I can't see the picture because I am not a part of the forum.


I haven't heard of a panther being albino, and I thought the jacksons "albino" wasn't proven to be an albino (I could be wrong, especially since I can't see that picture?) like Nicolas said, veileds have a translucent or "piebald" gene though. In low end animals (that only carry one gene) their feet and sometimes tail have areas that are pink, black, or white. In the high end animals (that have two copies of the gene) the pink, white, and black appears further up their legs, tail, and face. Sometimes the turrets are see through so you can see their eye moving inside.
 
Oh yeah, that female was from a guy who was apparently known as a scammer. I haven't been able to find anything factual that it is actually an albino and not an ill/dehydrated red phase jacksons. Have you found anything definitive?

I've read about an albino mellers, but I haven't found any proof on it either.
 
I've heard of a scammer but about the appellation "willigensis" but not about the albino. Probably the same person?!

I haven't got more data.
If you find data about the albino meller, i'm interested.

About the link, i don't understand..it isn't at all what I sent :confused:
But yes, she seems to have the MBD...
 
I don't think they are the same person. If I am remembering correctly, the person who named the jacksons was an exporter? (Or maybe it was an importer from Europe?)
I think a poacher but i'm not sure.

Yes it's was this link...Decidedly, the mysteries of the computer... :D

http://geocities.ws/chamjacksonii/behavior.html Go down and look there is albino
 
I believe you are thinking of the importer/exporter who claimed to have a new subspecies of jacksons, AKA jacksonii willengensis.. which is in fact j. jacksonii.. Some EU breeders still refer to them as willingensis for some strang reason though.

There we go! Thanks for reminding me! Alright now I can say for sure, they are different people.
 
that was a bad quality picture of the albino. But when it comes to genes anything is possible right? the thing that gets me is that they can change there colors when they feel like they need to.
 
Yes i confirm, in europe, some people tend to forget that willigensis is not a sub-species and attach too much importance to this appellation.
The real name is Chamaeleo Trioceros jacksonii jacksonii willigensis...starts to become complicated :D
