Hong

Hong is the most astonishing Red Body Blue Bar (RBBB) Ambilobe Panther Chameleon I have seen in person. His colors are velvety smooth. He has a deep red body and beautiful sky blue bars.

Imported by One World Exotica in October 2023. WC Taiyang and WC Haiyang are two of my favorite wild caught imports; Taiyang means sun in Chinese because he has a ton of yellow w/ a little mix of orange like the sun, and Haiyang means sea/ocean in Chinese. Haiyang’s blue bars are really something for a WC, so we have the sun (Taiyang) and the sea (Haiyang). They both came in great condition, and I hope to be working with them for years to come.

His blue bars are the best of all of our WC imports from One World Exotica and his body is very nice as well - green/yellow and only some very sparse red/orange markings.
