You've probably heard different things because they all vary. A rule of thumb is larger species live longer while the smaller one have shorter life spans.
Male Pathers generally live approx. 4 years and females generally 2 years but so many variables.
For females egg laying takes a toll so shorter lives.
Veilds about the same give or take.
I had a panther that was 5 1/2 years old when i traded him..

The life span for a Chameleon all depends on the care it is given. OUr orginal Panther was an Ambanja Locale animal imported from Madagascar. When he arrived we was super large (larger than any Panther coming in the country that I have seen since. His age was estimated at that time around 7 years old or older. We had him for another 6 years after that and when he finally did die the Vet. came to the conclusion that it was old age. That would make him around 13 years old. We also had a Veiled that was purchased at 3 years old and we had him for almost 10 years after that. These are no way normal ages but an animal can live a longer life with the best care that can be given.
