What type is my panther?

[Matt1851]

ok i must be getting annoying by now with all the threads i posy but bare with me! I have lots of questions that i think of now and then.

Ok so this time i have been contimplating on weather Charlie is an Ambilobe or a Nosy Be. Reason being is 1. The store i bought him from had the spelling of nosy be wrong 2. They marked him as a female when later on i found out he was a male. So now im kinda curious. Can anyone tell me what you think he could be?

Hes about 3-4 months old so i dunno if it will be hard to tell

Nosy Be

Nosy Be

Hopefully They turn such a nice blue!

I would lean Nosy too, but also would not bet on it yet. He looks very healthy, and with what blue is peeking through, I think you will be happy regardless. Maybe in another 4-6 weeks you'll know for sure. Either way, he's a fortunate cham.

Right when I looked at it I though Nosy Be...

 

[kpritch17]

They are hard to tell when they are young because they all look so alike, but with those blues, I'd have to say Nosy Be

 

[Matt1851]

do nosy be's haveorange on their tails when they are babies?

 

[veildowner]

id say nosy be

 

[fowlers]

if it was marked as nosy be then that is probably what it is, not defo tho. it looks like my ankify when it was younger, but it had a few more red specks and deeper blue bars. you could say it also looks like nosy faly. are these locales rare in your country?

Has alot of blue so might be nosy be but still kinda young to tell.

 

[Chris Anderson]

At this age it is very difficult to differentiate between different locales. That said, the coloration at this point is consistent with that of a Nosy Be, although it is consistent with that of a few locales from that general area. If the supplier indicated that this was what locale they were, even if he misspelt the locale name slightly, there is no reason to doubt them at this point. Once it has reached its full adult coloration, you should be able to state that he is a Nosy Be with much more confidence but for the time being, I would continue to assume the seller was correct.
