Bermanja Panther Chameleon (Furcifer pardalis)

The Bermanja Panther Chameleon (Furcifer pardalis) is a rare and secretive species native to the Bermanja area of northern Madagascar. This location, which is rarely seen in captivity, is valued for its ability to show uncommon color combinations, such as earthy greens, gentle blues, and deep barring, occasionally with faint reds or yellows. Males normally reach 14-20 inches, while females reach 10-14 inches.

The Bermanja Panther, a visually spectacular and lonely animal, is best seen rather than handled. Panther Chameleons, like all other chameleons, thrive on a varied, calcium-rich diet that promotes good health and vibrant coloration.
