i just was checking the reptile auction site and someone is selling baby nosy be panthers for a unbelievable $ 129.00 i never seen these kind for that cheap. has anyone purchased any of these? i would be intrested on how healthy they are.

For starters, they are only a month old. It would be hard on them to be shipped, especially now that the temperatures are changing. You wouldn't be able to specify sex at that age either.

I think the addage is

If its too good to be true, it probably isnt.

You mean to say?

If its too good to be true, it probably is.

No?

if anyone here buys one of these let me know if its to good to be true.

Anybody have a link to this site.

Hey I know you Canucks speak english........(most of you)

If its too good to be true, why would it be?

I just looked at that ad...

1. Any experienced reputable cham breeder will not sell a baby younger than 3 months.

2. That particular seller has only been registered there since Sept. 22, with only (I believe) 9 feedback posts.

3. Looking at that seller's other current auctions, I see way too many snakes and turtles...maybe not a chameleon "person" or breeder. Looks more like a broker to me. Could be a hobbyist with a pair of Nosy's, but even the low price doesn't entice me.

4. The seller does not list his/her location. I see the zip code 35188 for the chams, which is Alabama. When I look at "Herpetology101"'s other auctions (snakes, turts), I see a zip of 53214 for a few snakes and the zip 53140 for a couple turts. Those are Wisconsin zip codes.

That said, I also am not intimating that the seller is scamming, otherwise unscrupulous or would sell inferior animals. I am just more comfortable spending the extra bucks to get a cham from a breeder with a website or published email address, phone number and name! I won't be bidding

its good you investigated into this that is the ad i seen because i remember herpetology 101 nicknamejust for note when i bought my veileds at a reptile show the breeder i got them from also had 2 pair of ambanga or sambava panther babies it was one of those he was asking $115.00 a peice.
they might of been2-3 months old they looked the same as the veils as far as size they might not of been morphs.
in this situation its most likely a good deal because you can see what your buying .

i wonder if you send your money for a panther for $129.00 +19.00 and never get nothing or maybe they send you a veiled.
