Hi Everyone,
New to the forum, but have been reading here quite a lot and recently acquired a panther chameleon from a private owner, with a "full set up" at a very reasonable price. She didn't know a great deal about the chameleon other than she got him from a breeder, and said that it was male. She was mis/uninformed about a number of other things and I've done a lot with the info on this forum to improve diet, the diet of the feeders and pretty much just started from scratch with a 4x2x2 LLL enclosure and live plants.
So, meet the cham currently known as Pablo. Looking for help on sexing. Apparently 9 mos old, not very colorful at this point. Lots of white. These pics are as hot as it gets. I see a...small...lump at the tail base, but without finding any really good A-B from underneath comparisons in my searches, I'm still just unsure. Someday I'll have one of each and can inspect them properly... All things being equal, love this panther, great eater, drinking, hates the camera like me...will be an awesome pet and hobby for me and my family regardless. Will be happy to stop using "it" rather than he or she...
If anyone wants to take a stab at locale, I'm all eyes. Previous owner: "I think Ambilobe?" I think more Ambanja, but I'm a newb and it might just be impossible to tell at this point. Note that the second and third shots are under a yellow incandescent light. Natural color is more like the more vertical shot.
Thanks and look forward to talking with you all some more!
