Has anyone ever thought of breeding their panther? I am sure you have. I am thinking of breeding my nosy bees but the only pro, is the the female is non Receptive. Do not even attempt to breed if the female is non receptive. I m a herper so any questions please ask!!!:D. Nosey be panther chameleons are one of the best cams to breed. Their gestation period is 9-10 months. If you really want a cham, or want to breed a cham you should do a lot of research. I have learned from past experiences from people who asked me questions that research is a essential. When i got my first cham, a long while ago i did loads of research, any questions please ask, i am going to tell about some panther cham facts below.
Technically this species has no breeding season. After mating the female wii lay 20-30 eggs, in some cases more. The eggs will stay inside of her for 45 days- 6 weeks. When juvenile you can tell sexes by their gular pouches:red in females blue in males. They have a ritual in mating along with a lot of other species. A Panther female is occasionally non receptive, but she is receptive most of the time. When a male gets near a female regardless of receptivity he will nod his head and approach her. He will often display dark patterns when approaching her. The female may react according to her receptivity. If her mouth is gaping remove her immediately. She wil display dark coloration. By the way a chameleon's color change is caused by chromatophores in the skin.
Females should be given supplementation quite a bit after eggs are deposited. That is the most essential part of pregnancy. Make sure you also put a container filled with substrate so she does not get an internal infection caused by her keeping in an egg.
In incubation Panthers have no set time, just keep the temp at about 73-80 degrees F. You can build your own incubator. Just be careful to keep the eggs at the right rh.
When the Panthers hatch you can put them all in the same enclosure, then move them as they get older. When they are younger you can feed them flightless fruitflies or two week old crickets, if you are new to the trade you can buy them at petsmart, petco, etc. Any questions again I will answer!!!
 
Kibu is a female Japanese name.

That, and the fact that they posted in the wrong section, and this mistake:

Leads me to believe they are likely Japanese, and not very familiar with english.

No reason to doubt them just yet. ;)
 
Sorry, I am new to this sight and I get confused, and about the question, over time you introduce your chameleon to a Cham of the opposite gender, and by the differing color in the chromatophore tells you how he is reacting to the other chameleon. chameleons do rituals like bobbing heads and stuff and in males if they are really interested in females that might get dark patterning and try to clamber after the female.
 
kibu just a heads up there are alot of very experienced chameleon keepers and breeders on this forum accually imo this the most well informed forum i have been on.

Actually that is the name of my panther, and his full name is Kibulu Umeme which means blue lightning in Swahili, i call him KIBU for short. Malagasy is the true language of Madagascar though.
 
kibu you sound like a smart boy hang around i bet you will learn alot here you can never stop learning:):):):):):):) sometimes breeding can take time she will be ready when she is ready do you have some pics for us of your chams and cages like i said we love to see new pics
