Hey all!
Choriona and I have been bantering back and forth on PM's on ways of determining the different locales of female Panther Chameleons. As most of you know, the females tend to be a drab pinks and browns, while the males have the bright, flashy colours. It's easy to determine the locale of a male, but a little harder with the girls. I said I would privately forward over pics of the four different females in my collection for comparison, but I thought I would post publically to see if any of the other chameleon-gurus on this site had any brilliant ideas on how to do so.
This is "OFP" that I'm currently babysitting for Zoe. She is a Nosy Be and you can clearly see the blues on her body.
This is "NFP" Zoe's other female. She is a Rainbow Panther.
This is "Pink". She is a rescue of mine and according to the previous owners is a Nosy Be. I don't see any blue on her, even when she is not in a pissy mood.
And finally this is "Red" a Red Panther Chameleon. I got her as a baby and was hoping that she would turn out to be a male so I could determine the locale. Alas not.
I guess if you were buying directly from a reputable breeder, you would be able to see the parents of the female so you would know the locale. If you are buying from a pet store, or rescue you don't have that option.
Any thoughts on figuring out the girls?
