How Much Are Panther Chameleons(Ambanja) in US?

[ZooRex]

I started with a cb male turquoise veiled chameleon last year, so I guess it was about six years after I started with exotics. There are a number of good sites on the web that will help you get started such as Chameleon News. Yet here is some info that I've learned my self:
Chameleons aren't like most other herps, they can have health problems very fast if something is wrong in their environment.

Never underestimate how much water chams need (even for veileds which are supposedly a "desert" sp) you should mist at least twice a day, as well as one heavy shower a week.

Supplementation is very important, I suggest using Mineral which has worked great for me, yet you must be careful not to over supplement

Be very careful with dish feeding, a chams tounge can shorten permently if it isn't exersied.

Being diurnal, they apsolutly need UVB lighting

Feed as varied a diet as you can manage, chams get bored with the same food quite easily.

If you notice anything off with your cham, you will probably need to see a reptile vet, or at very least to extensive research to find the problem, and cure it.
Hope this helps ~ Rex

Another reason why I'm not getting chameleons yet.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Irresponsible Side: GET THEM NOW, REGRET LATER ;P
Responsible Side: Nahhh....

I forgot to add that if you follow the guidelines, and are responsible, a chameleon will be an amazing an rewarding pet for years to come. Good Luck! ~ rex

My 2 cents.

I have an adult Sambava that was purchased from LLL reptile. She's doing great and actually has nice color for a girl. I chose to purchase my male from a private breeder so that I had a better chance of getting the colors I wanted. It is not guaranteed to be as colorful as the dad, but chances are better than one picked at random from various sambavas offered by wholesalers. Depends on what you want. If you want a good pet, LLL is a good choice. I picked up my male from Kammerflage creations and I paid a bit extra for the bloodlines. If you may want to breed them in the future, look to the breeders, pay a bit more, and increase our chances of getting the colors you want based off the Sires. The variation within localities can be somewhat surprising, so if you want a good chance of a blue cham, get a male from a reputable breeder.
I'm done with my rant.

Glad to see that some people have had success with LLL. In my expirience its better to just steer clear of buisnesses like them. ~ Rex

Does wonders for the majoruty of all WC herps. Most vet offices use variations of this brand.

THANKS GUYS! Appreciate it all. Sorry wasnt online for a few days now.

Anyway how long(of a herp owner) before you guys started with chameleons?

I've been keeping reptiles for over 16 years now. I haven't kept chams until recently mainly because I was focused on other projects.
