It really has to so with color. Start looking through some pictures of the breeders on some of the site sponsors websites. I have an ambanja now but I have also had Ambilobe. Ambilobes will have blue bars, red, bars, yellow bars and they can have any number of colors along with them. Very rainbow like. My ambanja is a really pretty blue and mint green with red dots and a lot of white, his daddy was really red and blue. My understanding is that Nosy Bes are beautiful blues. But each panther cham no matter the local can very from the "norm". Most will follow what their Sire and GrandSire on the Dam side look like. Mine is an oddity as he looks nothing like his Sire so far.
