I wouldn't consider where you got it a reliable source for different locals.

Wow, big change from what she sold it to you as... but he's turning out awesome none the less! Pretty damn good for 5 months too.

She was supposed to be one of the best in Canada. Looks like she messed up the locales on me.

nice Maroantsetra! I'd say that someone messed up in the locale department for sure. Where abouts did u get him. Here in Ontario?
1.2 Ambanja, 1.3 Nosy Be, 2.5 Veileds and about 750 eggs

I'm pretty positive it's a Maroantsetra. Thanks for the compliment
Very nice looking guy i would just be careful calling him a maroantsetra without knowing 100% sure especially if you plan on breeding. This is exactly how locals get cross bred with others. If you plan on breeding and selling the babys, i would be careful labeling them as provens maroantsetras unless you were to gather accurate sire/dam info from the breeder.

I didn't bother. I should have when I noticed it starting to bob it's head at another female at 3 months lol. That's when I first realized it wasn't female, it hadn't been showing colour at that point.

Well it definitely isn't Ambanja, so it's obviously Maroantsetra. She breeds both.

Chameleontario...do you have any pics of its resting colors (not sleeping, just not fired up). It does look like a Maroansetra to me, but resting pics could verify. Also, I am in the market for a couple female Maroansetras, who was the breeder if you don't mind me asking (was it Connie?), you can PM it to me if you want. Also I think it needs a little treatment on its lip.

Here is a picture of his resting colour. I'm very surprised at the amount of colour he's got at 5 months old
Also, the dark flake you see on his lip was a piece of shed that didn't come off. After I took the picture, I noticed and peeled it off

Let me tell you a little story... (dates, names and places will not be used)
I was helping set up at a reptile show a few months back when a chameleon breeder happened to walk in with their display. This person accidently dropped the acrylic display with all the various locales of baby pardalis inside. Each particular baby had their own properly labeled compartment within this display. The lid popped open and the babies escaped. Cute little dickens running amock on the floor. All in all the babies were rescued safely and deposited back into the display and the day continued. Considering all baby Panthers look the same at 8-12 weeks of age, I've always wondered if the right baby was placed in the right labeled spot.
