Black Panther chameleon males are not interested in females

[利群劲大]

I have a male and a female leopard chameleon, but the male is not interested in the female. I don't know why. Is there any solution? The male is about 13 months old, and the female is about 10 months old.

Can you please post another photo of the female from the side…she looks like she might not be receptive. How does she react to the male? You aren’t keeping them in the same cage, are you?

The separated female was already in estrus and did not reject the male, but the male did not nod at the female and was completely uninterested.

Sorry…I can’t read that writing form.

I had it translated…hopefully this is what it said…
“The separated female was already in estrus and did not reject the male, but the male did not nod at the female and was completely uninterested.”

So you know the colouration for the female when she’s receptive then?

I’ve seen this happen occasionally with panther chameleons and I wonder if they could be different species of panthers that somehow don’t recognize the female’s colouration.

You need to hydrate and feed those two Furcifer pardalis some before thinking about breeding. The male looks to be Nosy Faly or Nosy Be local.

Sorry...I can't read that kind of writing.

I translated it...hopefully it says this...
"The separated female was already in estrus and did not reject the male, but the male did not nod to the female and was completely uninterested."

So, do you know what color it is when the female accepts it?

I occasionally see this in leopard chameleons, and I wonder if they are a different species of leopard and they somehow fail to recognize the female's coloration.

Sorry, it may be my translation problem. I know the color of the female when she is in heat. The male is an Ankara mi. He may be a little nervous recently, so the color is not very good.

You need to keep both Furcifer pardalis hydrated and fed before you consider breeding. The male looks like the local Nosy Faly or Nosy Be.
