What is the prettiest chameleon?

[Salty]

I am trying to find info on what kinds of chameleons are the pritiest at rest. From what I understand, the male chameleons are always prettier and some flare up more than others. The only pics i can find of male panthers are while they are all flared up.... I would like to know what these guys look like when they are not flared. Also, what kind of chameleon is always colored up or showing good colors other than brown and green... if they exist. Thanks.

males are the ones with colors in general, yes


"prettiest" depends on your preference, but generally speaking I think Panther's are the most colorful (as that seems to be what you prefer)


the colors depend mostly on bloodlines and locales, but if you want something that isn't green you should look into NOSY or AMBANJA they are much more blue

so those ones are blue instead of green or brown? I thought Nosey Be's were only blue when they fired up. Anyone know where I can go to see some Panthers in real life in Missouri?

When a male panther has multipule colors when he fires up, Do these colors show at all while he is at rest?? or is he only going to show green and brown?

Male panthers have beautiful coloration even at rest. The colors and markings intensify when they get fired up. Usually the reds under the neck the most. The female panthers, however, are more shades of peach and tan,sometimes brownish, with black showing up when stressed or fired up. Male veileds are the same as the panthers. They also have gorgeous colors at rest and more intense when fired up. Females are most often pretty shades of green. Sometimes you will see them with amazing and interesting lines or spots of yellow on them. I've never worked with ambanja or simbavas before but pics look awesome! Soooo many choices! Good luck!

For me, there is nothing quite like a Carpet female, especially when she's in full gravid colours! Simply amazing! https://www.chameleonforums.com/christmas-already-70344/

i was going to say that!!!!

or how about a gravid female minors cham??

If you are looking for more of a varity of colors. I'd say Ambliobes. They have nice colors in both the "fired up and at rest" states. The difference can be drastic.

This is my Ambliobe "at rest".

"Fired Up"

Male panthers are certainly spectacular...but I'd be hard pressed to find on "prettier" than my little male peacock.

Here is my Ambilobe looking about as dull and ugly as he ever looks

WOW! those pics look great. And your at rest cham pic still has a lot of color! I wonder if I can keep a full grown
male and female panther pair in a 4x2x3 cage....

NOYou can't keep them together in a cage!!!



But they are PRETTY

Make sure you do plenty of research before buying any cham. Please. Forum members cannot stress that enough. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder but just because something is beautiful does not mean one can care for them. They really are alot of work and you must have time for them. Sometimes I feel they are more time consuming than my two dogs.

 

[Hoj]

mine are the prettiest LoL
