Veiled & Panther: Different care?

[Mesnik]

I own a veiled now for 4 months, and it is my first chameleon.

I would like to hear from those that have both, veiled and panther, if there is any difference in proper caring for these two types of chams.

Thanks,

Roberto.

From what I've seen their care sheet seems similar. So I don't think there is a huge difference in the too. But I dont really know.

I don't own both, but i do know panthers require less heat and more humidity than veileds.

I owned both for about a month.
Then I sold my mitsion.
Here is the difference for me.
Panther was 5 degrees cooler in basking temperature.
Simple as that!

just a bit cooler temp and a bit more misting.
but basics are pretty much the same.

Yeah like everyone says, humidity levels is about the only difference. I'll spray my veiled like 3 times a day and my panther 5 times or so just to make sure I keep the humidity up and partly because my panther wont drink from my dripper unless the water from it runs down the vines so i spray a bunch to make sure it does. Justin, why did you sell your mitsio?

I bought him for 275 and sold him for 600.
I do that stuff all the time. Just last week I bought a 95 comaro for 400$ and sold it for 2200.
I am in sales, so i have a thing for it.lol
I work for ifloor.com it is the largest online flooring company in the nation.

Aside from the humidity and temp as stated before, they're pretty close. Veileds are more hardy due to their natural habitat (wider ranges of temps and humidity).
