Progression of our "Ambanja" STUNNER going from BB to almost all Red

[Panther Company]

At this point we've already concluded he's a hybrid, and probably at least 25% Tamatave. His sire was a known Ambanja, Thor, at Kaleidoscope Chameleons. His mother? Something crazy. We call him Double Rainbow, but the name was more fitting a couple months ago ;-)

Coming out of the bag he was shipped to us in, at roughly 8-9 months of age:

We can't wait to see how he progresses. Maybe the Blue will make a comeback?

Thanks ChamCapture -- he really has been a treat of a pet, fascinating eye candy and great temperament.

That is a crazy looking Ambanja! Looks great though what ever local or hybrid you end up determining it to be.

 

[ReptiGeek]

WOOOOOW
And to think some people aren't fond of crossing.
Well I hope they get a look at him because he is STUDLY.

Speachless...

He's pretty. looks like a faly banja

I LOVE hybrids, and he is no exception! Beautiful animal, I would love to experiment in hybrids someday!

 

[Panther Company]

Thanks everyone!

He's an eager breeder, and before we realized that he's very likely a hybrid, and not just a "special" Ambanja, we paired him with a female Ambanja from Chuck G's blue stock, and a Faly female (this was before we were lucky enough to score one of Rob's holdbacks) so we'll have some more hybrid babies in about a year with him as the sire... the clutch(es) from him with the Faly female should be particularly exciting to see.

I think hybrids are beautiful! And your man is certainly a stunner! Can't wait to see if his blues do come back, but his reds are absolutely gorgeous =) !

He is AMAZING!!! And for that matter it is really a breath of fresh air to hear someone call "locale" on what the animal looks like and not what they were told

 

[chamcapture]

Don't know how I missed this thread! He is looking AMAZING and I am glad you like him! No matter what locale he may be mixed with, he is still awesome.

 

[LML]

He's really beautiful. What fun to see his progression and wonder what will happen next.

 

[SaintJimmy]

Whoah! That is stunning.

Kinda like a nosy faly but all red.

 

[Panther Company]

The blue is making a come back!

 

[tdismang]

Double rainbow, double rainbow! Lol!
Beautiful lizard, by the way

 

[ReptiGeek]

Oh my god! This boy is hands down one of the nicest panthers I have ever seen, no matter if he is a hybrid.

im proud to say im the new owner of "double rainbow". bought him from a guy in saint pete. He is now better then ever, heres a pic from yestarday

I would really hope you reconsider he is pure ambanja. Many ambanjas show more red rain than faly's. The red rain I do not think would be a sign of tamatave. If he were tamatave he would have pure sections of red, not just spots.

 

[Panther Company]

he's certainly looked more and more Ambanja after coming out of his red phase. I think the temporary red takeover may have been his "funk" phase, which I think I've seen you write about.

I believe he was bred by VeiledChams who is a member of the forum but not very active, had a sire named Thor from Kaleidoscope Chameleons that was a known Ambanja, and his dam was CH.

He sure has a ton of rain, though we thought that suggested more Faly than Tamatave. Tamatave was suggested by other members when he was turning red at rest and firing white.
