Update: My 4 Panther Boys All Grown Up (Lots of Pictures)

Hey all, just an update on my boys. The perfect NJ weather has allowed me to bring all of them out for sun almost everyday and they are loving it.

First up is King Koby, my Ambanja. He is approximately 9 months old now and he's been a joy to have. He is the chill one of the group and has never puffed up or attempted to bite me. I've never seen him aggressive or fired up... nothing seems to phase his cool and collected personality.



















Had to include a baby pic of him What a big boy you've become Koby!



Going to get some dinner and will be back later to update this thread with my other boys.

Lol what a tease posts a few then leaves..... that is a sweet banja gotta love the purple...

Koby just looks so sweet and he's such a handsome boy too. What an adorable baby picture of him. They grow up so fast. Can't wait to see your other guys.

What a beautiful panther you got there!! he looks great..

RobMD, JannB, and RobyRango thank you guys very much for the kind words. I love Koby very much and hope to find a girlfriend for him in the future.

Next up is Karthus, also an Ambanja, and a little over 1 year old now. He is my biggest cham at almost 19 inches from the tip of his nose to the tip of his tail. I was told panthers only shed parts of their body once they reach adult size, but Karthus gave me a full body shed about a week ago so I think he may continue to grow bigger. Karthus is the one with attitude, ever since he was a baby he has been the pissy one of the family, and I love that about him.

Here is Karthus at 3 months old..






Pictures from earlier today catchin some rays... my BIG boy all grown up!

So far, so good! I'm loving these banjas!!

Thanks Maxxtu! Ambanjas might be my favorite locale

Next up is Knuckles AKA Nucky, my Nosy Faly. Nucky is around 9 months old and has chilled out quite a bit. He used to be a feisty one when he was younger, but now it seems he has calmed down a little bit and become friendlier (still scared to handle him without gloves though lol).

Here are some of his baby pics..








And pics from earlier today...

And last but not least, my first and favorite cham... ACE! He is a BB ambilobe and approaching 2 years old. He is the most outgoing and friendly cham I own and loves to be held. When people get close to his cage he runs to the front and begs to be let out constantly. I had no idea such a little creature could have so much personality, and he continues to be a joy to be with. Recently his hobbies include sitting on my shoulder/head/arm while I play online poker... I SWEAR he's my good luck charm. He's the one who got me started in the chameleon hobby, and my favorite part of the day is waking up in the morning and seeing his little face while I clean out his cage. My friends and family love him and he is the star of the show whenever I have company over. Unfortunately, he had a penchant of rubbing off the tips of his back spikes when he was younger, so he is missing quite a few back spikes in his recent pictures.

Here are some of his younger pics ranging from 3-6 months old.








And some pics from earlier today in his sunning cage...

Thank you very much Carol! I will let Koby know

How is Romeo doing these days? Even til this day I have not seen a sambava nearly as spectacular as him.

Wow all four of your boys are absolutely and down right handsome! I love all of their coloring, and they all look so well taken care of. Great job growing them from little babies into handsome young men lol . I want a Panther Chameleon so bad

Great Panthers!! The purple on Koby are phenominal. Some of the best purple I have ever seen on an Ambanja. Ambanja's are #1 in my book.

Wow you have some nice chams especially the ambanjas my favorite!!!!

Much thanks Kirbythecham, Jeremy and Chameleonmaster!

I must agree, ambanjas have slowly become my favorite locale in terms of looks. Nothing beats a cham with a sweet personality though, no matter what locale or species!

U have some nice Panthers ,that first one ambanja ,Damn he is badass.

Really like that ambi! Nice clean blue bars.

Wow! All of your boy are gorgeous. If I had to pick a favorite I think it would be Ace. I just love his colors!

Gorgeous guys you got there! Ace is my favorite, his colors are unreal!! How old is he? Who is his sire?
