As a cham keeper for about 7 years, here's my input.
Chams are very solitary animals, and even seeing another one could cause stress in the right situation. Mating is also a time of stress, even to a female of the same species who's willing to mate. That panther female is probably having the scare of her life by being 'attacked' by a different male. As for the male on male - that's probably the worst of the bunch. Males are so territorial, I don't even want to imagine what the Verrucosus was going through.
If I had free roaming chams of different species, I'd make darned sure they wouldn't be put through a situation like this. Allowing the veiled/panther mating is bad enough, but holding two males of different species on your hand and taking pictures of the attempted mating isn't what I'd consider proper care. I'd have thought a member of Adcham would know better.
