Colour prediction of my male Panther chameleon

[matthew1300]

hello everyone! I have a five month old Panther and was wondering if anyone could predict what he might look like. Blue bars or red bars ? Mainly blue body or some other colour? His dad is 50% blue bar ambilobe 50% nosy mitsio. His mom is 100% ambilobe. Here are the pics of them

Anyone ?

 

[matthew1300]

Is it even possible to predict with a cross

 

[Matt Vanilla Gorilla]

Too much genetic variation, near impossible to tell! Looks like he has great potential to be a handsome boy!

Can't say for sure, but with him being 75% ambilobe, he will likely look very similar to a typical Ambilobe. Or you could get some crazy looking thing you wouldn't expect . But my guess goes towards being Blue barred with some greens/yellows.

I will say blueish /red purple bar,only the time will show.

He is 5 months at the end of January and is 6 inches right now, is this in the average length of his age ?

 

[alphakenc]

More or less right about there for that length

Ok thanks !

He s getting some red bars !

I haven't seen any sign of blue bars yet

 

[Seiryu]

Red will sometimes come in first and then turn to blue. I've also seen chameleons that were blue bar at 5 months, go completely red bar by 10 months and then flip back to blue bar as their final coloration .

Not saying he can't be red bar though!

Oh that's cool, my guy should be shedding any day now, I'll keep you posted on what colour his bars are !

 

[matthew1300]

What do y'a know, I come home from school and see my guys finishing up his shed. Only took him 3 and a half weeks !

Update**

As you guys told me the blue bars are slowly taking over the red bars and it looks really cool atm ! He is doing great and it only took 3 weeks to shed last time around. Here are some current pictures. He is six months old

 

[Matt Vanilla Gorilla]

Wow, he is getting to look amazing!
