Not what i was told... ?

The tail is different than the graceful. It's so bulgy!

I dunno.... Beyond my skill level. But not a veiled and it does not have the nose extension a panther has...

I'm so into this thread. Cant wait to find out what it is!

@bassjunkie and always green colors right? I am going with Male based on the tail budge.

 

[bassjunkie]

It almost looks like a female four horn too! The tail!

Nose looks different .... Looks a heck of alot like a Graceful Chameleon. https://www.chameleonforums.com/care/caresheets/flapneck/

I just googled them and the pics are really really close.

This seems pretty close, as far as the size, coloration, plain head... thank you!

me tooooo! It's a mystery chameleon for now... hahaha!

 

[bassjunkie]

It is a male and a panther

@bassjunkie and always green colors right? I am going with Male based on the tail budge.

Yes, always green with the white stripe. varies from almost black specs on brownish yellow to bright green, but not like a veiled or panther coloration.

Male something. Beautiful cham looks healthy so however It was kept has gotta be at least close to proper husbandry. Did your friend mention where they got it?

Ok I am sticking with male but other than that I dunno. I spoke to fast without really looking

 

[Chameleomom]

When I am wrong I have no problem saying so

It was a friend's 17 yo daughter's cham so i'm sure she got him somewhere locally here in Austin, we have a couple cool exotic animal stores. The enclosure he came with is really nice,but kind of small. it's fully planted but it's glass on all sides except the top, with coco fiber substrate.

Who else do we have in the forum with a wide species base of knowledge we can tag in?

 

[Chameleomom]

Is it a Exoterra? but the coco fiber needs to go its a breeding ground for bacteria

Right!? I don't know much about females so i thought maybe she'd set it up for egg laying, but that doesn't make sense, they thought it was male... and yeah it's an exoterra.

@Chameleon Mike @OldChamKeeper what type of chameleon is this?

 

[Chameleomom]

I have a big Exoterra and I really love it

 

[jannb]

A friend of mine that’s an expert with species said it’s a Furcifer major.

 

[Chameleomom]

Jannb you rock

 

[bassjunkie]

wow, yeah, i googled that and it's REALLY similar. Are the graceful/flapnecks and carpet chameleons very similar? Those seem to be the 2 closest matches here. You all are AWESOME!

Coming in with the knock out lol. I was sitting here going through my chameleon book... lol
