Difference Between Nosy Faly and Nosy Be

[repdog]

Can anyone tell me the difference between the two locals. I have my heart set on a Nosy Faly but see there is much color difference between those that do sell the Faly's. Plus I do see that Nosy Be's are more popular and easier to buy.

Nosy Faly and Nosy Be panthers both come from separate islands (Nosy Faly and Nosy Be) off the mainland of Madagascar. They are similar in coloration with their blues but there is generally more whites and reds in the Nosy Falys. Nosy Be tend to be more of a solid blue coloration especially through captive breeding. Nosy Faly's will tend to have more white in their body as well as red rain throughout. Both can have some yellow along and at the back of their jaw line.

Here is an example of Nosy Be:
