What kind of panther local is he?

[chameleongalore]

Hi Everyone,
I have some wild caught chameleons and I'm not quite sure what local they are. I was told possibly ambilobes but they look like Tamatave or maroansetra to me. They are just subadults so I'm sure I will be able to tell once the males get more colours. Any input would be much appreciated. Thank you

This will be very hard to do without pictures.

Can someone tell me how to tell the difference between a Tamatave and an Ambilove?

Ambilove? ive never heard of it

 

[Chris Jury]

...Ambilove?

Do you mean Ambilobe, perhaps?

The geographic location in which they were collected-- also known as "locale"

coloration will vary

Typo, sorry. I should never let my fingers do the walking. I understand about local, but that doesn't tell me how to differentiate unless I can ask for their passports.

Thanks for all the input everyone, just like I thought he is a tamatave and i got 2 males and 2 females so I will try to post another pictures of the other male. They are obviously all the same local, pretty excited to match them up and get some babies. The difference between the tamatave and ambilobe and all the other panther locales is the colours and the patterns they carry. Ambilobe is a part of Madagascar and so is Tamatave so thats why they call them these names.

Here is a couple of good pictures of the two males I got.

 

[JonRich]

I vote Ambliobe, time will tell tho.

 

[VeiledChams]

Looks like a Maroantsera IMO.

Nothing ambilobe there..

 

[sharlaxle]

Nope it was right the first time, Ambilove, cause we love our AMBIS!

 

[Sterlingcham]

I believe that the one one right side is a ambilobe and the one on the left looks more tamitave Then ambilobe but time will tell so just keep us updated

What is trying to be asked is what characteristics make a ambilobe a ambilobe and what different characteristics make a tamatave a tamatave???

There's nothing Ambilobe about him that I see. I see him (them?) being a young Tamatave as well. Congrats!
