Hiya, Im new here. Im from the UK and looking for a panther chameleon. I have one for sale near me, but the person doesnt know what type it is and cant get pics of the parents as it was from a wholesaler.

Can anyone have a look at these pics for me and have a guess at what type it is? Anyone know the sex?

Thanks alot.

The one in the picture there is a pretty little Panther girl. Locale is nearly impossible to tell in the females. She is also old enough to judge by the tail base and lack of hemipene bulge.
I read through that thread-only Veileds (and maybe a few others) can be sexed by tarsal spurs on their back heels.

I sometimes look at that website but in my view I would stick to this site for the best cham advice as you have people who know there stuff contributing from all over the world. That website is a general forum for all reps and in my view too clicky lol.

Hows your little one getting on phil???

Its a female panther chameleon, they did state that the locale was Nosey be, basically it means it originated from a small island called Nosey be just off the coast of Madagascar

Hi mate, I'm afraid to say he didn't make it The first few days he seemed to be doing ok then went pale and stopped eating and died in a space of 2 weeks. Daryl said he had lost many from that batch so offered to replace him. So on Saturday i travelled from Norwich to Daryls and collected a sub adult male sirama aged around 4-5 months who daryl had brought from Germany. I have seen a pic of it's father which Daryl took during his trip to Germany and wow he is stunning so hopefully he should turn out to be a stunner to. I was so tempted to take a male blue dimand and even now I keep thinking have I made the right choice I almost brought a female sirama too but my partner wouldn't let me but i guess that is a good thing as i should really get some experince behind me in keeping panthers before I think about breading. my other half acts as my sensible side lol

I will post pics when of the new chap when he has had time to settle in.

o, thanks for the email. I like your setup. I have yet to decide what vivs to go for and where to buy them. In fact do you know any good viv makers?
