Genetic percentages are not a wild guess, unless you don't know where your chams come from as in wild caught ones. when the kammers put percentages on their crosses its because thats what they are. If a black person and a white person have a kid its 50% black and 50% white. So if a known ambilobe and a known nosy be breed the offspring would be 50% of each, the colors just may not reflect that. Just because it looks more like one or the other doesn't mean it isn't half nosy be and half ambilobe. Just like with humans. If your mom is 100% polish and your dad is 50% german and 50% native american you are 50% polish, 25% german, and 25% native american. From how it has been explained to me it works the same way with panther chameleons. But I'm sure if you e-mailed the kammers they could explain it in better detail than I because they have many many multi-generation cross bred lines of stunning panthers. Hope this helped clear up the confusion.

P.S. I don't think the kammers would put exact percentages on the babies if they didn't know the exact percentages.

Of course you noticed that I said I did not know what my female is exactly. What you just stated is a very simplified version of "percentages" for lack of a better way to say it. Meaning 50% this mixed with 50% that. There is alot more to genetics as far as coloring and characterisitcs. People are working far more with things like geckos in this area. It is not widely studied or at least not published hugely in chameleons.

Awesome pictures as usual!

Your pictures are awesome as usual! I had to email you to see if that female Veiled was Cleopatra before I could comment. I thought she might be another one of your females. I can't believe how adult she already looks at a little over five months. She should be able to keep your boys in line with no problem I love your male Veileds....I love the fiesty attitudes best. I have a two Veiled males that I rarely handle. They bite and bite hard! I'm going to breed a few of Cleopatra's sisters with them at the end of the year. Thanks again for the pictures!
