The links above...Not all are colored the same. As far as the same as above...NOPE...good luck though, it's tough to find an adult for sale, let alone one like that.
Your best bet is to buy one from Chris or Mike when they hatch, and hope it turns out the same.

To add to the confusion, the animal in the first post was not exported from Madagascar with locality data. The locality ID on the website the pic was taken from was apparently a "best guess." It is not, from what I have seen of panthers in the wild, from Nosy Boraha (Ile Ste. Marie) or the Masoala Peninsula. Chris Carter has some Masoalas that are much more similar to Maroantsetra, which is just across the bay, and Nosy Borahas are usually more of a greyish-white without the vibrant reds.

Brian,
It really just depends...
I would say some were around 500$ or so. But if you have the connections...Who knows.

Hi I was wondering if anybody knew of anybody in the US that had any of the Nosy Boraha or the Masoala(st.Marie) Panthers for sale...If so can you inform me please very very interested.....
That's a really cool looking locale. The ones at FL and Cleanline look different though. The pictured Nosy boraha looks like an extreme Tamatave. If it's the color scheme that you like, you might want to ask around about the Tamatave locale.

Well the picture shown above actually came in a couple years ago in a Tamatave shipment. Will in France, www.pardalis.be as Kent said gave an educated guess as to which locale they are. There were actually two males that came in that shipment looking like the one pictured and Will tried to find the females that came through with them and every one of them bred out differently, appearing to be normal Tamataves. If I were to guess, I would say that they were actually collected from northern Tamatave close to Nosy Borah (aka. Ste. Marie) because they tend to look like a mixture of the two locales.
As far as the Masoalas, I saw a couple that came in labeled Masoala, I got a trio and I am unaware where the others went. The females look very similar to Tamatave females with a U to almost O bar showing more of the light browns (also the same color brown I have noticed in Sambava females) I have yet to see a lot of the super light pink colors seen in a lot of western locales even when receptive. The males' greens have lightened with age, turning now a whitish yellow but the red barring is super bright, more of a burgundy red.
I should have some clutches hatching in the next few months from two blood lines. I am very interested to see how they turn out, even though it takes longer for the east coast chameleons to color up, hopefully we will see some something different.
