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. Individuals 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 individuals 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 individual is determined by whereabouts in Madagascar they come from (referred to as their locality). Panther chameleons were previously thought of as being difficult to look after. This is no longer the case as advancements in both our knowledge on their care as well as improvements in the products available mean that although considerable dedication is still required they are no longer classed as an advanced keeper’s species.
