 What chameleon is this?

Hi, I was looking through the gorgeous pictures of everybody’s chameleons and I found this (sorry to use this if it is your chameleon, but they are stunning!) :) Can anyone tell me what type this is? I’m actually looking into keeping chameleons but until I have decided on a species I cant get too much information. So I need to make a choice then find out if I can get them over here in England and then do my research. I was looking at this, A senegal Chameleon and a panther chameleon. I understand that Chameleons are hard work which is why I am doing research so far in advance. I do have experience in looking after lizards but my main aim has always been to care for chameleons. If anyone has any good websites or facts that would come in handy I would be very grateful. Thanks

Howdy!
The chameleon in that pictures is a furcifer pardalis or panther chameleon.
Both chameleons are very "easy" to take care of.
Senegals are one of the most exported species available on the commercil market.
In 2007 CITES allowed 7,000 of them to be exported.
Being that most of them are imports they take a large beating.
The stress from the trip, dehydration, and large parastite loads kill a lot of them.
If you decide to go with a senegal make sure it is a captive bred.
That way you dont need to worry about the things I listed above.
I have a care sheet on my website if you wish to take a look at it.
Go into my profile and click the link to my website.
It goes over lighting, temperatures, watering, supplements, caging, feeders, etc.
Senegals and Veileds have almost exactly the same husbandry requirements, so my care sheet will work.
