Pure Nosy Mitsio 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 and overweight 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.

Nosy Mitsio Panther chameleons come from the Mitsio Archipelago a group of tiny relatively isolated islands off the north West coast of Madagascar, about 45 miles north of the better known Nosy Be Island. Male panther chameleons from Nosy Mitsio are often relatively uniform lime green, sometimes with some darker barring patterns when at rest, but when excited or fired up they go an amazing lemon yellow, often without markings other than the white lateral stripe. Some males may retain a bit of patterning when in this excited state and occasionally some may have a slight orange hue to them, but most will just go a luminous yellow.

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).
