Mixed Breeding

[Tyminator]

Has anyone successfully breed and Veiled with a Panther?

I wondered this before, I am new to chams and I do not understand why this is not possible?

 

[Chase]

They are both Chameleons but one is Chamaeleo and the other one is Furcifer
they are different Genus's

 

[m1ndless]

So what would happen if they tried to mate? Would you have retarded imbred baby chameleons running around?

I would love a blue bar veiled.

I think my canara-keet is a pretty smart bird...

(Sorry-couldn't resist)

It's not actually possible for anything to come of that. Additionally, it is highly unlikely they would even recognize each other as possible sexual partners.
It's not like dogs. They are different genus (already mentioned) and different species.
Juli's analogy is a great one. Parakeets and canarys are both birds but they cannot produce offspring together.
How about this ... You and a Chimpanzee. Probably not going to be tested ... but I doubt very much that there would be a pregnancy.

Panthers and veileds are too far evolutionarily removed from each other for it to be biologically, and probably behaviorly, possible. Some other, more evolutionarily close chameleons have been shown to be able to hybridize such as Chamaeleo calyptratus x Chamaeleo arabicus. Subspecies should be able to hybridize as well (Chamaeleo jacksonii jacksonii x Ch. j. xantholophus will).

Edit: oops, landlord came by and I sat on this too long.

I could test the me and a Chimpanzee theory if you want Brad. :lol:

Thanks for clearing this up, I didn't realize it wasn't possible.

What was that about a Chameleo calypgalensis then?

Those are rare. Although I may be working on propagating this hybrid soon.
I'll keep you posted.
