Panther Chameleon Breeding

If you keep a male and female together, they may breed. You need to consider whether you want this to happen. What will you do with the babies if you incubate the eggs?

A gravid female should have access to a nesting box to lay her eggs. The box should be large enough that she can fully turn-around inside it. We use a soil mix in there that is wet enough to clump but no more. We have found that Spider Life substrate is ideal.

The eggs should be incubated in an incubator at 84^oF. We incubate our eggs in sealed boxes on a moisture rich substrate (such as Hatch-rite) to trap the humidity around the eggs. After approximately 7-8 months the eggs will start to hatch, the first babies to emerge will encourage the rest of the eggs to hatch.

Something like a tupper-ware container with a tight lid will work the best for incubating the eggs. It does not need to be a very deep one, so the kind that are used to store sandwiches are generally the best. The incubating medium can be something like vermiculite, perlite, or Super-hatch or we use Hatchrite, etc. but it all needs to be moistened to the point where you can only squeeze a single drop or two from a fist of it. This will keep the humidity high in the container. A pin hole can be made in the container for air exchange but you can also simply open it once every few weeks for a moment. You may have to re-mist the media to maintain the humidity very high (but do not spray the eggs directly).

Once the eggs are set-up correctly, indented into the incubating medium, the container does not need to be placed in an incubator, like you would with snake or bearded dragon eggs. Experienced breeders say that they found that clutches incubated at cooler temperatures (mid-70’s F) produced stronger and more robust babies than clutches incubated at 80-85 F. So in most cases the eggs could be kept in a closet or cabinet where the temperature remains at about room temperature very constantly. Mine were kept in my reptile room, which does fluctuate in temperature from day to night, so mine were not subject to extremely constant temperatures. Whether this makes a difference, I have yet to determine, but some breeders seem to suggest that a fluctuation is natural and healthy.  We keep our eggs at 74 degrees and our hatching takes just about 6.5-7 months.

Panther Chameleon breeding 101

Panther Chameleons are extremely territorial and live a solitary life, it is not uncommon for males to get aggressive with one another if their communication by colors does not work. Females are a little bit more tolerant towards one another but still prefer living on their own. The only time they would come together would be during the breeding season.  When searching for a baby panther chameleon, or any type of panther chameleon for sale, be sure they are captive bred.  Be sure to check out all the beautiful baby chameleons for salehere at CB!
