If all these females are traveling all over madagascar and as you are saying "mixing up all the different locales". How do you explain the vast differences in east coast locales and those on the west coast and on nosy faly etc... I think you need to start researching and reading before you start speaking... Just because your bf went to maddy doesnt mean what you are saying holds any validity.

I was going to guess Ambilobe by the looks of him. I guess I am a little late though on the guessing. He looks like maybe he is a red bar?

Ofcourse there are differences between different colors on East and west coast but talking about pure lines is just not right. You're also forgetting he went to Madagaskar not on holiday but on research with Emmanual van Heygen, who discovered Phelsuma Vanheygeni and Kinyongia Vanheygeni, so it's not some tourist. I've seen pictures from different area's as well. Also WC panters are caught from all over Madagascar and put together, different females with males, before shipment they can mate and you'll never know if you have a so called 'pure' color. That's all I'm saying, that it doesn't always refer correctly to the finding place. For instance, you have this Nosy Be true blue, but that's not coming from Nosy Be at all, they are just bred for brighter blue colors, often they are also called Blue diamond here, which I think would be a better name.

What your talking about is exporters and collectors crossing pardalis after capture. You are right that is a common occurence unfortunately. But your statements about there not being any pure locales is way off base.

He was sold as Ambilobe and he looks Ambilobe to most. I have seen a lot that looks like him and a few people even guessed Ambilobe on here. He just gets REALLY fired up when he sees a female.
