Ambilobe Panther Chameleon

Ambilobe Panther Chameleon, Furcifer pardalis, the panther chameleon, is widespread along the coastal regions in the northern third of Madagascar. It inhabits the lowlands and islands. Panther Chameleons have the characteristic that each locale has a distinctive coloration. Almost the entire rainbow of colors is represented in panther chameleon locales. Although purple has been difficult to find in the wild, it has come out in captive breeding – so the genes are there!

The males are larger than the females and brightly colored. The females are an overall orange/peachy color, though, when gravid can become a deep black with orange stripes. The community has identified the different morphs by their locale. Names such as Nosy Be, Ambanja, and Ambilobe are locations in Madagascar that you may visit.

Ambilobe panther chameleon (Furcifer pardalis) is a sub-species of panther chameleon found in the eastern and northern parts of Madagascar in a tropical forest biome.

The minimum cage size for  Ambilobe Panther Chameleon males that allows the creation of a suitable environment is 2’ x 2’ x 4’ tall, but males do get to a size where a wider cage would be appreciated. If possible, a cage at least 30″ wide will provide the extra space to make males less cramped. But the care summary lists the target cage size as 36″ wide x 24″ deep x 48″ tall. This is the minimum size I would like to see for every panther chameleon. Commercial limitations require me to select a different minimum size, though. To be sure, the 2’x2’x4′ has proven itself adequate and effective.  But if you are going to build your own cage then 3″x2″x4″ is the target minimum size. Obviously, you can build your cage any size you like, but when you have the freedom of building your own then I suggest you take full advantage of it!

Females are smaller than the males. I would still recommend getting at least a 2′ x 2′ x 4′ cage, but they can be effectively kept in a 18″ x 18″ x 36″ cage. It pains me to write that as larger cages are not that more expensive and the experience is demonstrably better in the larger cage. So, although I must be honest that they can live in a 36″ cage, I highly encourage you go to the same size cage as you get for the male.
