Thanks for the compliment Crystal.

If you were looking into getting one... A pet store would be last place I would recommend, but I'm sure we all know that. There are numerous well reputable breeders in the states that I could refer you too if you are really interested... You won't pay too much more (Maybe just on shipping) but it is WELL worth it buying an animal that you know has been hatched and raised in an ideal environment. Then you also have the benefit of speaking directly with the breeder that hatched them, and you can look at the parents of the cham to get a good Idea of what it will look like when it matures. Both panthers and Veileds make great first time chams, and they are two incredibly beautiful species IMO. If you choose panthers you have a lot of variety in what kind of color variation you want. There are several Locales of panthers that have a huge variation in coloration from Locale to Locale.

www.screameleons.com has a nice breakdown of how the different panther locales look.

EDIT: Thanks Everyone. Yeah Pat... It was a tough couple days thinking he was gone cause I was careless for just a minute. I couldn't believe it when I found him that day. It was awesome. He has a labedo that can't be stopped!
