• Comment this isn't the lead image, and really just buried in the gallery... Mattximus (talk) 14:45, 22 April 2019 (UTC)

• Yes Mattximus, and we've had this debate. The community seems happy with noms that aren't in the top right box. There's nowhere else to show an endemic 'subspecies' like this, or a mating image or headshot for instance. Let's see what others say... Charlesjsharp (talk) 21:50, 22 April 2019 (UTC)

• The article states that "Panther chameleons from the areas of Nosy Be, Ankify, and Ambanja are typically a vibrant blue" - is this greenish-cyan the "blue" implied? This is a highly varied species, so there's certainly space for several images, though it's a little confusing as laid out now. It might be better to move the discussion of variation to the section with the gallery. I can kind of see the "buried" claim, as the explanation that helps the gallery make sense isn't actually near the gallery, while if it was explained with pictures right there, the explanation would have more weight.

• I'm going to take the liberty of reworking the article a bit. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 6.6% of all FPs} 01:33, 23 April 2019 (UTC)
• I think Mattximus's issue has been dealt with. It has a lot of images, but all serve an important purpose. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 6.6% of all FPs} 06:17, 23 April 2019 (UTC)

• Support We should probably have substantially more "male" variation pictures, though. This is one of those cases where I'd like to suggest these for a set, but there's not enough for a set. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 6.6% of all FPs} 01:39, 23 April 2019 (UTC)
