You said..."i think veiled chams have that too"...have what too?
You said..."I want to get a male panther because of the striking colour they have...any difference in caring of male and female?"...males can be striking for sure! The main difference between males and females is the egglaying (of course). I don't recommend breeding them before they are full grown and over 1 year old. If the husbandry is good and an appropriate place is provided for her to dig to lay the eggs, there are usually no egglaying problems...but once in a while a female might have a "physical" problem (deformed eggs, fused eggs, reproductive tract deformity, etc.)that can result in eggbinding. Controlling the diet of a female at the appropriate times in her cycle can help reduce the size of the clutches and should help her to live longer.
You said..."Hope to get a pair of 'em...haha...and breed them in the future...but i think the process of breeding is quite expensive too right?"...you need containers to put the eggs in, vermiculite to lay the eggs on, and maybe an incubator (depending on what climate you live in). You also need cages and lights and food and supplements. (Hope I didn't miss anything.)
