Panthers & Vieled

[purplebiotch]

Is there any difference between keeping a Veiled chameleon and an ambilobe panther chameleon or is it basically the same (temperature, diet and humidity wise).

Also on average how big does a panther get?

I ask because I was going to get a veiled chameleon but then I saw just how gorgeous the amibilobe panthers are and i had a little change of heart (I am still very happy as to own a veiled though!)

Also is one easier to take care of than the other?

Thanks so much!

They are typically the same in husbandry. However, panthers basking temps are a bit lower. 80 and they're happy

Some other members probably have a care sheet I can't access on my phone.

Oh! And temperament!! Panthers are less hateful (note some panthers will be just as hateful as veileds)

Also, Veileds are not hateful. Ever.
Sometimes someone invades their territory and makes them scared or nervous. Sometimes they get defensive. Sometimes someone gets bitten (never the lizards fault ). Not very often though, if you respect your cham enough to leave him in peace most of the time.
And panthers need higher humidity.

Oh yes, they are grumpy sometimes..... I do think in general panthers are slightly more relaxed about people. I never kept a panther so I have no experience. Still, as Lionel Hutz would say 'Hearsay and conjecture are kinds of evidence'
