Did you say panther chams?


Get them. Knowing you by your threads you will not have any problems at all. I use to breed chams. Panthers were my favorite ones until I discovered Ts, that was the end of it. there are several types of panthers around. They are clasified by its country of origin or region. they are not like veiled chams or calyptratus from Yemen.

Sooooo get panthers from the same region.

Please keep me updated, congratulations and good luck !!!!

Yes, I have a Panther and a Jackson's. Just read up on them before you get it. They are not hard to keep. I prefer them to most other reptiles. I only have one of each and no intention of breeding however, so I can't give you any advice there.

a month is a little young???is there a chance i just might lose some even if i have the right conditions ? like out of 12 how many would reach adulthood ?yea i;m getting them off a private dealer no pet store.do u have any advice that could be useful?i kno most of the sickness signes.also the drive will prob take 2 hours would that be a problem with six of them??also do u think my t;s would freak them out there probly not in plan view but at night u can hear them running around and such ,and i kno chameleons sleep at night and spider r active during the night so is this a bad idea to keep them all in the same room with my other creatures,snakes,spiders,large bugs all of that?
sry about all ther question just wana make sure i can provide the best home possible
thanks alot everyone

p.s my pm box is now empty

We have about ... 12+ chams in a room with roachs who move around at all times of the night, they cant see them and the chams sleep fine i really dont think it would be an issue unless it was in plain sight it would stress them.

Keep them well misted, you want to mist them for longer periods of time then short mists more often, this alows them to drink more. Try and avoid handeling them at first and keep them seperate and out of view of eachother.

A month as i said is alittle young they may stress more, another month and a half and they would be at the ideal time. for the drive just keep your windows up and dont stretch it if you can. Try and have everything setup so they wont have to wait in little deli cups all day.

Cham's are really awsome, and theres alot of good forums for them, i find some forums are more full of poeple that just say look at my chameleon isint he pretty, rather then actual information.

You will LOVE THEM

I have my Ts and Chameleons on the same room. But keep your chams appart from each other, they can not be housed together, they will kill each other.

Mating is not a hard work, the egss are dificult to hatch due to several problems.


females chams can be mature in 6-9 months but when I used to breed them I wait until 12 - 14 months.
