Panther chameleons are small, tree-dwelling reptiles that are only found in one place in the world, Madagascar. They are best known for being masters of camouflage that can change their brilliant colors in the flash of an eye. They have long, sticky tongues to catch their prey, binocular eyes that can see in two different directions at the same time, and prehensile monkey-like tails that they use for climbing and hanging from vines. With their many unique features and exotic color patterns, it’s no wonder they are considered one of the most beautiful reptiles on the planet. Panther chameleons make great pets, too, and are perfect for someone who wants to take that step up into exotic reptiles but doesn’t want to spend a small fortune. They are relatively easy to care for and only require a screened cage about the size as a 20-gallon aquarium. They are guaranteed to be the talk of any party and will be a unique focal point of a living room where everyone will enjoy their amazing colors and peaceful movements. They also can help you relax during your busy days at the office and are great for families with children, too. Chameleons are fun to feed and like to snatch up crickets, flies, roaches, giant green horned worms and other insects with their long, sticky tongues. Their food sources are inexpensive and easy to get at your local pet store or they can be shipped right to your doorstep. Being arboreal, chameleons like to drink water droplets that drip down onto the leaves of a plant below, simulating raindrops hitting the leaves of trees in the rain forest. They require a special, inexpensive florescent light that simulates the sun’s UV rays and they enjoy soaking up the warm San Diego sunshine, too!
