I was just curious as to what the chameleon community's general idea was on Panther chameleon crosses?
Is it something that is frowned upon, not acceptable, or acceptable? The main reason I ask is because I want to start breeding panthers, but can't decide on which panther to do. I really love Ambilobes, but at the same time I really like the Ambanjas too. So I thought well why not both and just cross them? I think they would make some awesome looking chameleons
Then I started seeing some heated discussions about crosses and wasn't sure if it was bad that they were crossed or that they were sold as pure but were actually crosses. I just don't want to breed crosses, and then find out that I will be stuck with all of the babies because I was a dummy and didn't know that Panther crosses were a no-no in the chameleon world.
I would assume that pure locales are most sought after, but there has to be a market for crosses right? The color combinations and patterns could be truly amazing with the right locales and parents. But maybe that is just me thinking a little too far out of the box.
