Jackson's Chameleon
In 1972, the Jackson's Chameleon (Chamaeloeo jacksonii) was introduced to the Hawaiian Islands from its native land of Kenya and Tanzania. In the last 30 + years, these species have multiplied and formed a large breeding population on Oahu, Maui, Kauai, and Hawaii.

Yes that is correct. The Veils are not allowed to be sent here to Hawaii. The Panthers are a different species. I know some people with panthers whom I asked. They said that the veils are against the law to be shipped. So dont ship any veils because they will get sent right back to you.
"Possession of illegal animals in Hawaii is punishable by up to $200,000 in fines and three years in jail."...

Yes, I checked with a pet shop owner. Veils are no doubt not allowed to be imported. Panthers on the other hand, and varies turtles, are able to be imported. So yes, panthers can be.
