Panther VS Carpet

[Salty]

Was wondering what the main differences between these two chameleons are. As far as color while fired up and at rest...
Also in the care for them.

Google

This is something that can be answered really easily by googling it. I would love to help but there are better descriptions and photos elsewhere.

Most questions and comments here can be googled elsewhere. I prefer the interaction of other caring real person experiance that only hobbiests can provide.

Carpet Chameleons are smaller than panthers and can be housed in a smaller cage.

Their care and requirements are about the same.

The female carpet is more colorful than the male unlike panthers where the male is the colorful one.

Carpet Chameleons are more difficult to breed than panthers .

Carpet Chameleons have a shorter life span - about 3 years compared to panthers that live 5 plus years

Most carpets offered for sale are wild caught .. if you get one try to find a captive bred or captive hatched one...

I can't seem to find good pics of carpets at rest. Are they colorful at rest as well?

Nothing really, I don't think they're harder to take care of. They're just harder to find for sale. I have a male now and am waiting for a female, and hope to see where that goes in the coming year or two. I love my male, he's so pretty.

There care is about the same. The breeding of carpets is just harder.
