Hello!
There are only three people in Finland who own a panther chameleon and I am one of them. I have had Pedro for 3 years now and finally decided to get a female for him and try to breed these amazing chameleons as the first person in my country. Well, I did get an adult female after long search from germany, and she has now mated and is laying eggs probably next week. The shock is, that she was supposed to be ambanja like my male is, but is apparently ambilobe!! The possibility of getting a female panther came onto me so suddenly and I needed to decide fast, that I trusted the breeders word for her being the same locale as my male. Well, now that he finally sent me some pics of the dad after the purchase(since I still kept requesting them), the dad seems to be definitely ambilobe. So I will be the breeder of mixed locales unfortunately, I will not cancel my breeding plans and I already bought an incubator and everything.
My question is, what do you experienced USA breeders think the babies of these two locales end up looking like? I am fretting that the colors will look damp and horrible, two locale-colors overlapping each other and undermining the best sides of both. Do I have any hope of beautiful offspring?
I will try to attach a photo of my ambanja and the sire of my female ambilobe.
