How to transport a baby panther cham?

[Avana Miaramila]

Hi guys, just looking for some advice on how to safely transport a baby panther chameleon? He will be about 12 weeks old when I pick him up at the end of the month. I've decided it's probably a good idea to arrange a box for transporting him in advance to get everything right
This is my first panther chameleon and I can't wait to get him

I can understand how excited you are but unless you really know what you're doing I don't recommend it as hatchlings are ALOT of work.
I think waiting until a panther is at least 3 months old so the breeder can make sure that everything is alright is the best thing to do.
On transporting, yea just getting like a cardboard box and then a little tub(like the ones live food come in) and put some foliage in there like a little branch with some leaves and that should do him.. it does depend how far you're travelling really


Welcome to the world of cham owning though, it's awesome

Thanks for the info, I breed beardies at the moment so I'm used to feeding lots of hungry little mouths when they hatch. Also will I need to put some heat packs in with the little guy? Will be travelling 3 to 4 hours to bring him home, would it be a good idea to use a larger polybox to help with insulation and put the other box in the larger?

Well if your going to be in the car it should be warm enough i would just get something small and dark and put a twisted paper towel in there for him to grab to. Any questions you have dont be afriad to ask

Hmmm, I thought it said 2 weeks old
No worries then!

Thats exactly what i was thinking. Isn't 12 weeks the same as 3 months???
