Panther or yamen

[Lk123]

Hi, I'm thinking of getting either a panther chameleon or a yamen chameleon next year. If anyone could tell me the pros and cons of each that would be really helpful and also a list if requirements for each would be amazing. I know I'm asking for alot but it would be so helpful to have all the information in one place. I have experience with leopard geckos and crested geckos but I am new to chameleons

All the information you need is right here at your fingertips. Are you on desktop or mobile?

I'm on mobile and I find this whole thing confusing to navigate to be honest with you, is it easier via desktop?

On mobile top left hamburger scroll down to species. Honestly I only use mobile for literally everything.

Yemen is under chameleo calyptratus and panthers are under furcifer pardalis. Scientific names

Thank you I'll have a look now. Just wondering, what species do you personally prefer

Both have good "qualities" and bad.

Veileds can be a little more aggressive and less tolerant of handling but they are a little more forgiving if you make husbandry mistakes IMHO

I'd recommend a male of either over a female for a first chameleon so you don't have to worry about reproductive issues.

These might help...

Thank you, I'll have a read of those soon. I know males are easier as they cant get egg bound also their colours are supposed to be nicer I heard
