The species is abundant and widely distributed; it faces no significant short-term risk.
The panther chameleon is probably the most colourful chameleon in the world, and its most notable feature is that each Madagascan population has its own palette: the males from Nosy Be are turquoise blue, those from Ambilobe red and green with bands, those from Ankaramy pink. Those local forms are known in the terrarium world as locales and are genetically distinct.
