Longevity of Panther Chameleons - who has the oldest living Panther?

I had a panther live to 8 years old. He died a few days afyer his birthday. Arnold was a tough old bird, but ever so sweet.

My ambilobe, Mad, Mad Mini is 8 and doing well. Guess his attitude has helped him. Here he is at 1 year and 8 years.

Wow, cool, amazing! We have discovered a 9 year old panther! His name is Dopey! He is blind but doing well! His family is doing a marvelous job taking care of him! Check him out on Chameleon Central USA! Dopey, this far you are the winner! 9 Years old and going strong! Does anyone know of any Panther chameleon out there that is older than 9 years old?

I just put one of my panther girls down this week, she was 6 3/4 yrs old, and Max was 10 days short of being 7 when he passed- the pic is of Max & Elliott - Max was our PR chameleon for our rescue

Wow, 6 and 3/4! Phenominal for a female! What part of your excellent care do you think helped her to live that long?

So, Dopey still holds the record of 9 years old and going strong! Does anyone out there have a Panther chameleon that got older than 9 years old? You input is greatly appreciated!

I picked up a WC male Sambava in 94 i assumed he was a year old when i got him, he passed in 2001.

About 3 months after i got him he learned the timing of my hand misting schedule! Every day at noon he would be at the front of his enclosure, when he saw the want he would just open his mouth and drink up..

9 years old is crazy long. Unreal! The oldest Panther I ever had was an Ambilobe, Max, who lived to be a smidge over 7 years. He was not at all nice and could be an absolute turd. I truly believed that it was his ornery nature that kept him around that long. Lol.....I do miss him though.

So these guys made it for a while! Seems like 6 to 8 years is emerging as a average male panther chameleon lifespan. BUT- we have Dopey - still alive and doing ok at age 9! Amazing! Can anyone challenge this age?
