Pure Ambilobe locality female panther chameleon, ideal for chameleon breeders. It is impossible to distinguish the locality of a female panther chameleon by its visual appearance as they all show the same variable colours which are not linked to their locality. It is only the males that have the bright colours, females although pretty in their own right are only ever shades of pink, orange and some individuals can be a blueish grey, it is the males that have the fantastic colours. If you are intending to breed, it is important to have a female of the same locality as your male.
Follicular stasis (egg binding) is very common in female Panther Chameleons, particularly unmated individuals because they are genetically programmed to live fast and produce large numbers of eggs at a comparatively young age. It is also worth noting that adult females are prone to obesity if overfed, this further compounds health complications when laying eggs. When opting for a pet you should always choose a male to avoid these reproductive risks. We list females for sale for the benefit of chameleon breeders rather than pet keepers.
Ambilobe Panther Chameleons are named after the town of Ambilobe in the north west of Madagascar. The males of this locality are the most variable locality in terms of colouration, some may have red bars while others have blue bars, and the background colourations can be anything from red/orange to green/yellow. Our individuals are Blue Bar Ambilobe but we have a variety of adult males that we breed from showing everything from yellow through orange and into red as their background colouration.

Panther chameleons are one of the largest and arguably the most colourful of all chameleons. They are native to Madagascar and occur over most of the island. The males are considerably more colourful and grow much larger than the females. The colour scheme of each male is determined by whereabouts in Madagascar they come from (referred to as their locality).
