Oorana Mena or Nosy Mitsio

[THECHAMMAN]

i change my mind i like mitsio more

 

[Paul R]

The name Oorana mena basically means "red rain". interesting, although not all the panthers their are red ha ha ha ha ha

 

[MALTReptiles]

Nosy Mitsio for us. We have one so that's why I pick. I do like Oorana Mena but to me, Mitsio's are so distinctive.

Have to with the ooranas

I LOVE THE COLORS! WITH THAT BLUE BACKROUND, WHITE BARING WITH RED HIGH LIGHTS BLOW MY MIND! SEEING A QUALITY MALE IN PERSON IS A REAL PLEASURE... AND THE FEMALES ARE A VERY BRILLIANT PINK. WHEN THEY ARE PREGO THEY ARE THAT SAME BRILLIANT PINK WITH BURGUNDY BARING INSTEAD OF THE TYPICAL BLACK PREGO COLORS. I HAD A GREAT PHOTO BUT MY COMPUTER CRASH AND I HAD NO BACK UP ILL POST PICS SOON WHEN I GET MINE SOON

Ah,neither. I'd rather have an ambanja, nosy be or ambilobe than any of the others - especially the newer ones...

Funny, because I remember many nosey be's looking very much like those nosey faly chameleons - but being considered "less desirable" due to the red and yellow. Everyone was breeding for pure blue - the red speckels in ambanjas and nosey be's were often considered undesirable, the more pure blue, the better.

I always felt the red bar ambanjas were the best looking, then solid blue nosey bes, then ambilobes - For me, the most important thing is how they look relaxed, not fired up. In my opinion, ambanjas and nosey bes look better relaxed, ambilobes, sambavas look better fired up.

i'll get some panthers eventually. I think I'd rather have one or two for my lectures. Don't know if I'd ever want to breed them.

One thing is for certain, pure blue nosey be's really catch your eye. People usually can't believe they're real.

Finally! one person on the thread feels the same way I do. I'm sorry, but I fell in love with panthers because I loved all the different colors they could have. A far as the Nosy Mitsios- I'm not going to waste my money on a color that isn't that unique, a plain lime green animal? Anoles are lime green, and at most probably $7.
And the Nosy Falys, I really don't care for any chameleon that has speckles of another color in it- breeders are trying desperately to breed that out of the Nosy Be. Now, if someone showed me a Blue bar chameleon with a crisp white background- I'd fall in love.
For me, I'd love a solid blue Nosy Be more than anything </rant>

 

[reyesjoshuacruz]

did you just compare a misito to anole?

i agree about the faly however

 

[viaje]

did you just compare a misito to anole?

lol... I, uh, might have. But I just said that if I was looking for a lime green lizard, I could save hundreds of dollars and get any number of other lizards

Hi, i'm Guido from Holland and new on this forum.
Nosy Faly and Nisy Mitsio are both beautiful species.
Mitsio a a bigger player with colors, thats why i prefer Nosy-Mitsio.
Faly is mostly blue/green and more a contrast player.
We breed with Mitsio and Faly for several years now, and with sucses. At this moment whe have Baby's and young animals of both kind.
If you want you can take al look at www.mayest.nl

I hope my English is not to bad

Greetings from Holland.

Lime Green?

A far as the Nosy Mitsios- I'm not going to waste my money on a color that isn't that unique, a plain lime green animal? Anoles are lime green, and at most probably $7.

Looks more like banana yellow.

This guy eats 7$ lime green anoles as a snack. (its the truth)

Mitsio for sure.

See ya,

Todd

[Chameleons Canada]

Another Nosy Faly Image for your reference

Another Nosy Faly Pic. This is WC male I got about 3 weeks ago.

 

[redtom123]

those two morphs are really awesome,
but belive me the real color you will see only in the natural sunlight,
it is a big difference between terarium light and sunlight

I add some pictures from both regions, Nosy faly and Nosy mitsio
enjoy it

 

[Smokey]

i voted oorana mena. like the colors even though i got 3 nosy mitsio

I know people are going to have tons of opinion after what I am going to write on this thread:

Oorona Mena to me looks like a Nosy Be!

Nosy Mitsio has more individual characteristic!!

So I would go with Nosy Mitsio

I would prefer Nosy Mitsio, as he mentioned about Oorona Mena is too similar to Nosy be. But it is strictly preferance.

 

[Pure]

Eh, if I wanted a green reptile I would have bought another iguana..

I'm more interested in what the animal looks like at rest, not sleeping, not fired up. Most picks of menas I see show an almost solid green cham when chilled out. I will admit they are pretty. Just don't fit my fancy.

Both are astounding in their own way. I just have a thing for blue.

edit: I meant to say Mitsio...As in, Most pics of Mitsios..Sorry I was in a rush.

 

[pba110]

pure, i'm with you. I think breeders should show their choice chams flared up, sleeping, and at rest. My cham isn't very aggressive so i never see those wild colors, i mainly see his excited colors, or his rest colors.
Anyway, I want a nosy faly bad!

 

[tkilgour]

I think I would like a nosy mitsio. However, both are very unique looking chameleons. It is a tough call when I really try to compare. Can I just have every locale?

 

[Surfrat]

Oorana Mena, however both a beautiful!
