They are from different areas of madagascar, therefore have different colours. They are all Furcifer Paradalis.

Yes it's kind of like humans. Depending where you are from in the world determines your skin color - it's similar with panther chameleons.
They're all panther chameleons, just different skin pigmentation.

Yep.
If you look at a map of Madagascar, you can see all the names.
Nosy means Island, so you will see Nosy Be, Nosy Mitsio, etc are small islands off the mainland, and then Ambilobe, Ankaramy, etc are all regions on the mainland. So a Nosy Be panther isn't a Nosy Be Panther, it's a panther FROM Nosy Be.
For each region, there is a different color morph.

I also thought Id add different locales also have some minute differences in bone structure. Hybrids are ok as long as they are pets only and not bred.
