I'd make the drive for that! I'm not sure what female I'm going to pick up I'll choose when I get there. My friends going to pick up a male from a different bloodline so they will be future Mr. and Mrs.!
I live in Chico which is an hour and a half north of Sac. I own and breed panthers. The Sac show is usually in Sept. but unfortunately moved to late Oct. this year. I'm excited I'm headed down to Eric's (Chameleons101) tomorrow to pick up a female:)
I have 1 male and 1 female available. Sire 100% Nosy Be and dam 50% Nosy Be 25% Ambilobe and 25% Ambanja. DOH 4/27/11 ish. Male is $200 shipped and female is $135 shipped only in United States. I've included a picture of the sire first a 6 month old sibling (not for sale) and then 2 of male...
I've never used hatchrite but have had great success with vermiculite with panthers. As for containers go with one that has a totally clear lid so you don't have to open it every time your checking on hatchlings:)
Zac, He's looking great! I love the second set of pictures where he's showing off his colors. This is an updated post of one of his brothers: Pictures of Millie && Skittles =)
