The Ambilobe Panther Chameleon (Furcifer pardalis) is a relatively large chameleon species originally from Madagascar. In its natural range, the Panther Chameleon lives in a wide range of semi-humid to humid habitats in the coastal belt and offshore islands of the northern half of Madagascar, Reunion and Mauritius.

A common misconception with chameleons is that they are very difficult animals to keep in captivity. Fortunately, captive bred Ambilobe Panther Chameleon purchased from a reputable breeder are actually quite hardy when provided with consistent care and a proper enclosure.

In the past, it was difficult to obtain chameleons that were not wild caught. These wild caught chameleons are difficult to acclimate to captivity and often did poorly, even for experienced reptile keepers. Now that dedicated, reputable chameleon breeders are reliably producing high quality panther chameleons, this stigma is no longer an issue.

Panther Chameleons are a large species, which are easily recognized by their vibrant color patterns and short bony appendage at the tip of the nose of males. With males reaching a total length of as much as 21 inches and females reaching a total length of approximately 13 inches, this is one of the larger chameleon species seen in captivity and one of the most beautiful.

Experienced breeders can sex this species from a young age by looking at the tail base and at their coloration. As hatchlings, this species is mostly brown or tan in coloration. Adult females typically exhibit brown, tan or orange base coloration with some slight blue, green or purple spotting on the head. When gravid, however, they exhibit intense dark patterns to display their unwillingness to breed.

On average, females live 4-5 years because even when not bred, they will produce infertile clutches of eggs, which take a lot of energy. Males of this species have a large, shovel-like bony appendage at the tip of the nose then females and on average live 5-7 years.

They are extremely variable across their range and this variation in coloration and pattern is exhibited in specific ways at different locations. The coloration and pattern typically expressed at different places are often named for the towns or islands they occur at. These names are referred to as locale names and are used to describe where the animal’s originated and as a result, what coloration and pattern they should show.
