I would love to find someone in reasonable driving distance but have been unable to do so. I am in middle Georgia near Macon, Ga. I am looking specifically for a panther, age, sex and locale are open though.

Are you in any big hury? I will have Nosy Be, Ambilobe and Ambanja available within the next 2 to 3 months. They just need a little more time to grow up in order to be robust enough for shipping!
By the way, how old was the chameleon that LLL sent you that passed away? There are people who stubbornly believe that very young chameleons are OK to be shipped though the losses at those ages are quite high during shipping!

I didn't mean to imply that it was your fault

Oh no you're fine, I should've known better! I was only taking my weather into consideration and didnt even think about the weather along the way that may affect him and I feel so bad for my ignorance!

Thank you
Yep, just a panther. Doesn't have to have crazy awesome coloring or be a specific age/sex as long as its healthy. I've just already had such bad luck that I'm starting to get discouraged. The first cham I had picked out was from a local "breeder" and developed an upper respiratory infection the day before I was going to pick him up and after questioning her, found out she also offered no uvb for them so I passedon her offer of picking out another. I then decided to order online since I couldn't find another breeder in my area and then this happened :'(

I remember your last post. I’m so sorry this happened. Don’t get discouraged and dont give up. I was kind of picky with my boy but I spent around 5-6 months looking for the perfect little guy. It’s worth it... have you searched for any good local reptile stores? Or maybe a repticon.. there’s one happening here in a few weeks and I’m so excited to go.. I have never been but a friend that is very into reptiles and is a veterinarian always tells me they’re very interesting and you could find local people that have what you’re looking for or maybe even purchase something at the expo. Just something to consider if you really don’t want to ship one

Just get a kammer panther, or one from @Matt Vanilla Gorilla, or any other reputable breeder on here and you'll be set. No worries with shipping they always come fine. Don't waste your time looking at reptile shows and locally. The best ones are going to be shipped unless you live close to one of these breeders.
Sorry you had to go through that.

Given the time of year, I imagine it got too hot somehow.

So sorry...Harry’s still a baby and his coloring isn’t developed yet. I ordered from FLChams and the experience was great shipped from FL to NC. So sorry this happened to you. Wish you better days

That is what I believe happened as well, the cool pack was room temperature when he arrived and he was in a position reaching upward with his mouth open.

Which line is he from? I almost bought from them when I was considering a veiled, they have some beautiful veiled bloodlines!

He is from the “jethro” bloodline and he arrived very healthy...ate right away and mike even sent a text to be sure all was well...great reviews too! He should have lots of yellow, some blue...I hope you can get a new one. I would have been so disappointed too and freaked out. My first Cham was from a large pet chain and died within the guarantee health period...the vet said he was very sick when I got him. So I kind of know how you feel. Harry “jr” was ordered after my Harry from Pet not so smart didn’t make it.
