Anyone Else Notice Mitsios Are Tamer Naturally?

My two adults were tame right out of the shipping box.
The Nosy Be, despite getting used to me a little, are still hissers and gapers.

Now I have 14 baby Nosy Mitsio, and 19 baby Nosy Be.

The differences in personalities just in the babies, all between 1-2 months old, are astounding. The Mitsio babies are just like their parents - chill. No hissing, they crawl on each other and there's no hissing or fighting, they share space.

The Nosy Be are stressful, lol. They hiss at each other, and me, they are never close to each other, they are territorial already at one month old, and are generally just more high strung.

Just an observation I wonder if anyone else has made. I wonder if it's the smaller, more remote location of the island of Nosy Mitsio, that a high population of panther chameleons has bred some more of that wonderful Island Life 'peace, love & understanding' into them. I wouldn't be surprised if they pass the peace pipe around while I'm away at work.
 
Your limited experience with the animals is too small to really make any conclusions. Plus WC vs. CB is a massive variable that can't be compared very well (if at all.) Perhaps if you have seen hundreds of animals you could more accurately make conclusions.
 
Pff I wish, my guy would eat me alive if he could. I swear he is plotting my demise as I type this lol.
Honestly my mitsios are the meanest of my clan
 
My male mitsio is the calmest most laid back cham Ive ever had. Now the female she is one mean biatch. She's mostly all bluff though. My male is wc the female is ch.
