WEEK 42, ONLY ten more after this one!!! This week is the vibrant and stunning Panther Chameleon aka Furcifer Paradalis









Ok, so here's another fine example of a malagasy lizard that's characteristics are very peculiar to a traditional gecko keeper such as myself. This specie comes from the Northern tropical forests of Madagascar, and their individual color schemes and patterns or lack there of is dependent on the locale that the animal comes from. Locales such as Ambilobe, Sambava, Tamatave, Nosy Be, and Ankify to name a few have their own populations of Panther Chameleons and the colors vary greatly from each of these areas. Females are more plain in color, going from browns to greys and bearing pinks and oranges as well, while the males are the colorful animals. These animals really catch one's eye regardless of what you are or are not into, even if you are a dog person ;) lol Here are some pics.........
