Hi All.

I stumbled on an article on what I consider to be a reputible site and wondered if anyone had any experience to back up what I read:

Bill Strand of www.chameleonnews.com wrote:
Panther Chameleons are relatively intelligent when compared to other chameleon species. They easily recognize different people and even wild caught panthers will quickly learn if a person coming by means food or not. If the same people take care of the chameleon, a Panther Chameleon will often learn their faces. The caretakers will be accepted more than strangers.

What are you experiences?
Personally I find that Moojoo can tell the difference between me and my girlfriend. Unfortunatley he doesn't seem to like her very much! :S
