Male looks like an Ambanja to me and the female? There is no way to tell what locale a female is until you prove out her first hatchlings with the colorations they produce.
Hi Jewel,
Can you read about the differences of panther locales and colorations on my website at: http://www.prismchameleons.com/AboutPantherChameleons.html
If you have any further questions, please let me know! :)
Hi Lele,
It sounds as if there is getting to be some progress on his ailment. I'm so sorry you and Cyrus are going through this.
This is a prime example that chameleons don't always die or get sick of something we have done during our care for them, or from parasites, or from worms, etc...
Hi Lele,
I have sent you a PM regarding this. Have your vet look VERY closely for an obstruction in the eye. Further information is in my PM.
My thoughts are with you both...
Well, if that is the case and all avenues have been taken, I am not sure what more in depth answers there are. Lele asked if anyone had this experience - I have and I am sorry to say my outcome wasn't pretty.
The only other thing I can suggest is that there may be a deficiency in Vitamin A...
Brian and Garfield both give good advice. It gives him more water to try and adjust what problem he has with his eye. It could be he has something inside his eye that he is trying to remove and extra water will help him do this.
Did your vet take a real good look inside his eye? I had a...
Hi Mike,
In the wild of Madagascar, panthers are used to very high humidity levels such as the 70% to 80% range because of high rainfall. However, in our households, none of us, unless we are lucky enough to live in high humidity geographical areas have that high of humidity in our homes...
Hi Lele,
I have a montane species that requires much higher humidity levels that I keep in my bedroom rather than my facility because of the warmth in there. I have used a warm mist humidifier for about 8 months now for her. I actually have her in a very large cage (48" x 24" x 24") and the...
That is a female and it is very difficult if at all possible to actually distinguish the differences between the locales of females. Sometimes you can take a guess by looking at their rostral projections and their heads (i.e. Ambanja tends to have a more protruding nose area than say your Nosy...
Good question.
The bottom cages are not actually on the floor with the exception of one aluminum large cage at the end of the row you see in one photo. That cage was just recently set up and I haven't built the platform for it yet (yes, I actually get my miter saw out and build things myself...
Thank you for the compliments! It was a lot of work which is one reason you all haven't seen me much around the forums lately. I have added more photos to the web page - during construction, finished product, and move in. Feel free to take a look.
It turned out perfect for our chameleons...
Hi,
Many of you here at the forum were chatting with me frequently while building our new facility. You gave me great suggestions and feedback during the construction which I appreciate very much!
I have been asked for photos of the finished construction of our facility so that many of...
Hi Heika,
The dropper suggestion is a very good one. Pedialite as well is very good to use to bring up their hydration levels and energy. Be very, very careful to do it in little tiny drops, watch for a swallow, wait a little bit, and give just a tiny bit more. You have to be very careful...

I'd like to wish everyone here on the forums a very Happy Holiday and a fantastic New Year! I've met some great people here on the forum and some I have yet to meet. However, I'd like to say you are all great people and I have enjoyed my interactions with you all this past year!
I know I...
Good Idea
That is a great idea Zerah... It could be helpful to a lot of new and old owners of chameleons. No matter what, we learn something new everyday about these fantastic creatures!
Hi all,
A baby chameleon should always have a smaller cage habitat in order for them to reach their feeders and not be too overwhelmed with trying to catch their food. Plus, a fall from a high branch in a large cage could be harmful as well. Typically, the rule of thumb is to have a smaller...
