Panther Chameleons (Furcifer pardalis) are without a doubt the most popular pet chameleon and out of all the reptiles found in Madagascar, this lizard stands out as one of the top reptile we wanted to find. In part one of this two part video, I take you on a tour of Madagascar to show what it took to find these amazing chameleons and show how they are living in the wild so we better know how to care for them in our homes!

That music in the background during the driving montage made me feel like I was watching a Halo cutscene!

Chameleons have always been my favorite reptiles in the world.

@LanceKirkman Год назад

Those are awesome Dav! Thank you for sharing! #RattleOn

@diannenaworensky6698 Год назад

Thanks Dave for doing a couple videos on Chameleons. I had them for years and miss having them. 🦎🦎🦎

@pencildead6449 Год назад

When Chameleons are trying to escape, they always look like they're just trying to get out of a really awkward social situation

@clistiarobinson34 Год назад

I am loving these Madagascar videos and learning so much about the chameleons and stuff. I hope you have an amazing day dāv

Same here!

Can’t wait for next week’s episode

@chriswheeler6092 Год назад

These days I am more into reptiles,but years ago I had parrots. I bred lovebirds too and I always wanted to see Madagascar lovebirds in the wild. They were very rare to see in stores. I don't know if things have changed. I found one pair in all of my years of breeding and meeting other breeders and going to all the local stores.Its cool to see panther chameleons in the wild. I always liked the little pygmies.

@davidvento5481 Год назад

Birds are closely related to reptiles on the evolutionary chart and some say feathers are just modified scales. When you compare a bird’s claws to a reptile the similarity becomes more apparent.

Amazing animals. Beautiful country also.

@richardyingling6972 Год назад

Rattle on Dāv! I'm extremely jealous of all the places you go. Where is your next adventure going to take you?

@VelociraptorGen2 Год назад

Hi Dav! Hope you had a great day with these amazing reptiles.

I did! Thanks!

they are livelier than I expected.

Dave, please read up on the difference betweenrelative humidity and absolute humidity. Even though the relative humidity reading is lower in the panther chameleon habitat, there actually is more water in the air because higher temperature air has the capacity to hold more water- that’s why it’s called relative humidity. Warm air can hold much more water than cold air. And the relative humidity percentage is always relative to the temperature the reading is taken at. For example, at 32 degrees, a gallon of air can hold one drop of water. At 100% relative humidity, there would be 1 drop of evaporated water in that one gallon of air. If the relative hundity was only 50%, that’s means there is on 1/2 drop of water in that air. Now, take that air and warm it up to 85 degrees. That same air now has the capacity to hold 10 drops of water. You take the same air, heat it up, and change nothing else, there will be the same amount of water in that gallon of air, 1 drop, but the relative humidity would only be 10%, because now the air can hold 10 drops of water vapor. Please always use the term “relative humidity” and you start to understand the concept. It’s clear you’re not quite there when you questioned why the lower relative humidity level of the 85 degree air felt more humid than the higher relative humidity of the colder air. Your answer is that warm air can hold much more water than cold air. That’s the answer. It’s as simple as that. Cheers and I want you to nail this stuff! Thanks for your hard work!!!

The oustalets is my favorite. I've been keeping them for 10+ years. I've got a male that begs to get out and hangout on our heads every morning

I love this series. Perfect timing as im hatching panther chameleons in a few months!

@cara9648 Год назад

French can be frustrating to learn sometimes, but moments like this where I can read and understand a random sign definitely makes it worth it.

@catherinepoloynis Год назад

Thank you, can't wait for part two! I never knew chameleons came in so many colors.

@christofkowa 8 месяцев назад

I love these adventures with you.

@leam89 Год назад

I think veileds are a lot more popular but not from Madagascar. Id love a in the wild vid on veileds

Maybe one day!

@SightandSoundAMSR Год назад

Awesome video! So educational and informative. I love panthers and would love to own one one day but not until I do a ton of research, if then! Hands down the most gorgeous creature in the animal kingdom. Thank you! #subscribed

Oh these are gorgeous 😊

@mattcarr2050 Год назад

love the content

@jdssurf Год назад

Great scenery in your vid. I always hope and pray that anyone who gets the urge to keep them, absolutely learns all they need to be kept properly, the proper lighting, temps, humidity, and especially diet. So many people love them and buy them not prepared for something that takes much more work than a corn snake. It does seem panthers are hardier than others.

I hope so too

@mattcarr2050 Год назад

great videos

Dav please make a video covering the fwc incident on April 6 at a broward county reptile facility if we can get a large enough following maybe we can make a change

@diannenaworensky6698 Год назад

Very informative !!!!!!!!!

@coastal_chameleon4668 Год назад

Great video ? Any idea what local of chameleon that is ? Looks like a possible locality cross

@Stwinky Год назад

I wonder what makes them so successful at dealing with human encroachment while others can’t.

Год назад

I’d like to find that answer too. I’m sure it’s a number of factors.

@KensExotics Год назад

How about helping for Collard Lizards in Johnson County in southern Illinois? Yes, you heard me right, that county gas a viable population on Collard Lizards!

Where are you guys exactly? I’m not sure you actually mentioned the name of the country. 🤔😜🤟🏽

@davidvento5481 Год назад

Did you know that there are people in South Fla who buy several pair of Veiled and/or Panther Chameleons. They then let them free either on their property or some designated wooded area where they apparently don’t wander off. They are totally sustained by nature and breed often and successfully. They then sell the babies so they’re essentially “farming chameleons” with zero maintenance and only the initial cost of the animals! This is no doubt “illegal” under FWC “law” however it’s not exactly a secret if I know the details in NYC (and so does everybody in FL with a YT reptile/animal channel.). Somebody’s getting a “lil’ sumthin’ sumthin’” at the FWC or there would be another needless reptile massacre down there. Now I need to stop writing before I get kicked off YT (yet again) for violating their “free-dumb of speech” guidelines. I will say this; FWC your initials are now anachronisms for “Effing Worst 🐓-Suckers.” That’s not a hen btw... it’s a co... (rooster.) They’ve set a precedent for herp/animal haters to openly hate Oh, one of his neighbors “accidentally” shot at Chandler and his friends while they were making a reptile video. A precedent has been set for the animal haters. He asked his viewers what to do. While it’s not really a viable option to SWAT someone... _”an eye for an eye”_

Long tailed lizards please

@user-lk9kj3tz1j 8 месяцев назад

WHY did that immediate negativity start ?!

@surfpanther Год назад

So if they all have the same genus and are the same species, aka the same scientific name, genetically there would be nothing different about locality? Correct? Meaning certain colors do better in different Geographic locations because of camouflage? The locality thing just genetically never made sense to me

@surfpanther Год назад

To elaborate a little bit further, if they are in fact 11 different species as the reptile Community claims(which i believe is false) that would result in hybridisation from breeding different locales. This does not occur!

Год назад

It has to do with a lot of factors like temps, diet, local environment. But yes, they are the same genus/species

@surfpanther Год назад

@ yeah I was pretty shocked when reptile magazine published the ridiculous results of some nobody scientist that claimed they were in fact 11 different species. I'm like yeah let's just throw out everything else we know about science and biology LOL

@dylanmckenzie3172 Год назад

Within populations, there is genetic variation at gene level (genotype), so one gene might have multiple different versions, called alleles, which act the same way but express something slightly different (phenotype). Think eye colour, same gene but slight variation causes it to look different. If a species is split into multiple distinct populations, as is the case with panther chameleons, there may be alleles within each population that convey an advantage at that locality. For example, if a species which is naturally red has a population in a valley dominated by a blue flowering plant, they may start to turn blue over time. This is because the blue allele, and thus blue skin, is better at camouflage than the red (natural selection). In the case of the Panther chameleon, females at different populations prefer different colour males, and so males at this different populations have developed different colours and patterns (sexual selection). intermediates So they don't have different genes, they just have slightly different versions of the same gene and these differences express themselves more or less depending on where the chameleon hatches. This is normally the first step on the way to becoming a new species but panther chameleons just need a few more million years to get there.
