Buy subadult Panther Chameleon online
Subadult Panther Chameleons (Furcifer pardalis) are at a pivotal stage—past the fragile juvenile phase, yet not fully mature. This is when their coloration begins to intensify, their personalities emerge, and they become ideal candidates for future breeding or display. Here’s a detailed breakdown:
🦎 Subadult Panther Chameleon Profile
| Attribute | Details |
|---|---|
| Age Range | ~6 to 10 months |
| Size | ~8–12 inches (20–30 cm) total length |
| Weight | ~40–80 grams |
| Sexual Maturity | Approaching RTB (Ready to Breed) status |
| Lifespan | 5–7 years in captivity |
Subadults are visually striking, often showing early signs of their locale-specific morphs—Ambilobe, Nosy Be, Sambava, etc.—but still developing full adult coloration.
🎨 Coloration & Morph Development
At this stage, you’ll start seeing:
- Red Body Blue Bar (RBBB) Ambilobe males showing bold striping
- Nosy Be morphs deepening into turquoise and teal
- Ambanja types revealing purples and greens
Coloration is influenced by genetics, diet, lighting, and stress levels. Subadults are ideal for evaluating future breeding potential.
🏡 Enclosure & Setup
- Minimum Size: 18x18x36 in (upgrade-ready for adulthood)
- Lighting: T5 HO UVB + basking bulb
- Temps:
- Basking: ~90°F (32°C)
- Ambient: ~75–80°F (24–27°C)
- Night: ~65–70°F (18–21°C)
- Humidity: 60–80%; mist 2–3x daily or use a drip system
- Decor: Live plants (Ficus, Schefflera, Pothos), horizontal branches, visual barriers
Subadults benefit from dense foliage and vertical climbing space to reduce stress and encourage exploration.
🍽️ Diet & Supplements
- Staples: Gut-loaded crickets, roaches, silkworms, hornworms
- Treats: Waxworms, superworms (sparingly)
- Dusting Schedule:
- Calcium (no D3): 3x/week
- Multivitamin with D3: 2x/month
- Bee pollen: every feeding
Feed daily, adjusting prey size to match the chameleon’s head width.
🧠 Behavior & Handling
- Temperament: Becoming more confident but still easily stressed
- Handling: Keep minimal; focus on visual interaction
- Socialization: Best housed solo to avoid territorial aggression
Subadults begin to show individual personality traits, which helps in selecting breeders or display animals.
