You are gonna find pet shops that specialize in reptiles dont carry panther chameleons often anymore. Reasons are that the price of them wholesale has gone up, that it wouldnt be smart for them to buy and hope for buyers at a much higher price. So now you find breeders on the internet. If you are looking for a site to check, I would sugggest going to www.chameleonsonly.com. Liddy and her her husband own it and they will happily talk to you regarding panthers as they specialize in breeding them. I just purchased a baby just under a week ago and he is doing well. They have pictures of the sire so you can try to see what your panther might look like. Also, there prices are reasonable. They are on vacation until the end of this month, but go check out their site anyways. Below is a pic of my baby i just got

I dont think many places ship across the ocean. Look for other European hobbyists on this site and ask them where they get there stuff from.

The only place o the net I know of that might sell you a dripper would be ReptileDirect.com. They say to contact them if you are overseas, so am unsure if they have any further rules or minimum purchase amounts, though none were stated on their shipping page.

I'm pretty sure I've ordered something from them before, and I had no problems. Though, I do live in the states so that is not saying much.

Anyway, hope this helps. Good luck!

Avoid all of that nonsense and build your own! Take a 1 liter plastic bottle, drill a very, very small hole near the bottom and let her drip. You can also go to your local hardware store (you may call it something different there) and find a piece that you can put through the hole that you can attach a tube to and control the drip. If you have seen dealers that sell the "big dripper" you can also find parts...this includes this small piece that fits into the plastic! I have one extra one myself, as I did not like the dripper much. Email me with your address and I will mail you one, heck I would mail the whole thing to you!

Kriss,I pretty much understood what you are telling about,think I can make it my own.Also I have access to hospital and can find the kind of dripper the next post refers to.Either way I think I'll have the job done,thanks a lot for offering help but I wouldn't like to put to the hussle of sending me stuff.Though I'll ask your help in the end if I don't make it...
Thanks a lot

Big Apple Herp will ship overseas but they have $250.00 minimum. Any chance that you have access to a doctors office or hospital employee? An IV drip system makes an awesome dripper. Diane

Any case you tell me a bit more so I know how to ask for it?I have a friend who works at the hospital.
Thanks

Here in the states, there are basically two types of IV tubing. Macro and Micro. The drip rate varies due to the size of the tube (15 drops/min and 60 drops/min respectively). Your hospital friend should be able to easily find one of these "pre-packaged drip sets" (sterile). They will have a spike on one end to puncture the IV bag, a rolling type clamp to control the rate, and an open end. You could do alot with one of these....good luck.
