Panther chameleons not only change colors within single individuals, but they also come in different colors depending upon which region of Madagascar they are from. This is a male from the Tamatave area on the east coast where they are predominantly red. I saw him just as the sun was disappearing.
Nice. Interesting info there Sean. “The Chameleon Gangs of Madagascar.” Make sure you represent and wear your colors. ?: why the name “Panther” Chameleon?
Hey Tom,
Here’s what I got from Wikipedia:
“The specific name pardalis refers to the animals markings as it is Latin for “leopard” or “spotted like a panther”.

The colors, the texture, the spike-y spine – all cool!
