Difference Between Panther and Veiled

[CamrynTheCham22]

I know there are many care differences between panther chameleons and veiled chameleons, but I was wondering what the main differences were. I am thinking of getting a male panther chameleon in the next few years once I move. I am only accustomed to veileds, and I thought the best place to gather information about panthers was to ask people who own them. I do not know what locale I am going to get, but I will be ordering the chameleon from a site sponsor or a breeder on this site. I am very excited but before I commit I want to be 100% prepared in order to give my chameleons the best care possible.

They're about the same. Just different looking and different attitudes most of the time. Veileds appreciate slightly higher temperatures according to care sheets, but my Panthers seem to like it very warm as well.

Their care is basically the same.

Oh okay, thank you. Do they need bigger cages than veileds?

No. Also, there are care sheets dedicate to different species on this forum. I would recommend reading the panther care sheet over, since it has all the answers you need

I do believe Panthers benefit from larger cages. My one is In a dstrand atrium and if I'm being honest, he could use larger. He always wants to explore no matter where he is at. Panthers can be very active. This could also be due to me free ranging him on a 6 foot table filled with large plants for most of his life until I moved where this wasn't possible.

We keep veiled and Panthers . Their care is much alike . Though on the care sheet specs on condos are about the same our panther likes space and lots of it . I hear this often .

I am not to sure but usually panthers are more friendly than the veild. Also they like more space but don't need it they just like to explore.

temperature and uvb are different but other than that their care is super similar
