Advise wanted on purchase

anafranil May 05, 2006 03:58 PM

As I have said before I am planning on byeing a panther but couldn't talk to the dealer as I mentioned in my last post.So I couldn't transfer the details I wanted regarding morphs,gender,age,captive bred etc..
Today I learned that I will be flying to germany to this big aquarium/reptile show this thursday so I would like to benefit the maximum from the visit since I could talk directly to the dealer.What would you ask a dealer when purchasing a new panther from him?Any tips perhaps from those who bought a couple of panther before?
Thanks

I am so jealous! I heard that place is really cool. I saw a TV show about and how expensive it was to build and maintain. I would love to see it firsthand.

Well definitely ask if the Chameleon is captive bred. If this is your first Panther you really want a captive bred one. This eliminates so many problems. Ask for references. Its good to hear what other people have said about his animals. If the reports are glowing then dismiss your doubts and enjoy. If you get to see the animals first hand, then that is a bonus.

They do things differently in Europe than we do, they use a lot of glass tanks and they are sucessful with it. So you might want to ask how the Chameleon has been housed, what kind to water system he uses, and supplements and what he has been feeding.
