Last week we had a new chameleon arrive at Rural Jungle HQ. This time a really stunning male panther chameleon (Furcifer pardalis). He is a red bar Ambilobe locale. Ambilobe is a locality from the northwest Madagascar between Ambanja and Diego Suarez. Ambilobe panthers are sometimes referred to as Sirama Panther Chameleons after the neighbouring town as well as by the designer name "Picasso" Panther Chameleons. this locality is divided into two main colour patterns, red bar and blue bar. The overall colour combinations are quite variable and consist of green, blue, yellow, orange and red but the red and blue bar Ambilobes are divided based on the primary colour of their bars.
Hers he is looking a bit drab at the moment:
He is mid shed so his colours don't look fantastic but here's a link to a picture of the Sire (father) and a shameless plug for a friend
Click here to see the sire.
We have decided to call him Horus after the Egyptian god of the sky.
