Anyone Willing To Take in A Panther For Free?

[Millitrix]

Hey.

So, I posted a thread on here a few days ago explaining my current situation with my 18-month-old female panther chameleon. You can read it here: https://www.chameleonforums.com/threads/female-panther-not-eating-and-loosing-weight-fast.161192/

I'm not able to cover her vet needs. I feel so bad for her. I know she's not well and I feel awful just watching her struggle. At this point I just want someone to take her in and help her get better.

If anyone in the Maryland-area/surrounding states (USA) is willing to take her in and help her get better, I'll give her away 100% free. I would rather you spend that money on her well-being.

I would only be giving away the animal. No cage, cage furniture, etc.

Thanks, guys. Please personal message me or comment down below if you're interested.

Take her to the vet if you care

I'm sorry, but can you not read? I blatantly said I cannot afford it.

 

[kinyonga]

You're welcome. Sorry you had to make this choice.

My apologies, I did not see that
Good luck hope your girl gets better

Take her to the vet if you care
I know it’s difficult but that’s the best way to fix your problems
If someone else takes her that will be plenty of streets and will only make it worst and the new owners will probably take her to vet any way chose what you want for her to be stressed more by new home then go to get or you just taking her to the vet
I know you care about her and it’s hard watching her struggle
Good luck

She's stressed out now the way she is. Yeah, she'll be stressed on the way to her new home but she'll get over it. I, unfortunately, like mentioned above, can't afford all of her medical bills. I'd rather her be stressed for an hour or two -- or a few days -- instead of suffering now the way she is until she dies.

Depending on how sick she is moving her to a new home and that added stress could make her condition worse. I know you said you can't afford to keep taking her to the vet, but unless you want her to die while you search for a new home, and she's as sick as you say (didn't read the thread previous to this solely based on this thread), then she's going to need some sort of continual care. Have you looked into reptile shelters?

With that being said, I'm sorry you have to give up your girl. These are hardy but needy little animals. Hope someone is able to take her soon or you find a really good shelter. Best of luck.

Not to sound like a jerk, but if you are going to give her a new home because you can’t afford her care, give away the stuff she is housed in so you aren’t further making it difficult on the person essentially cleaning and giving her the care it needs.

I understand you never intended this to happen, and good on you for trying to take care of her, but at the end of the day you shouldn’t be needing that cage more than she does.

I would like to take in you chameleon if I could have their home and all the equipment because the vet bill would be too much

Normal people do not just "give away" their animals. Go look for a good breeder and buy one.

Lol...

I gave away a couple . However, I agree. I just wanted them to go to a friend that would keep them well.

I feel like you had it lined up before hand, and not just answering a classified ad "want reptile. Give me yours" ?

The stranger part, is why? The Vet bills to save this animal would have been more than the cham and the setup.

Also on that note. The "setup" consisted of a basking light and a cage that was too small (16x16x24) the UVB broke and had not yet been replaced.

Eggbound Surgery plus Intial checkup, and Diagnosis. Well over the cost of a Panther.

I don't know if it's just me, but I'm always concerned about situations where people want to adopt a pet, but admit upfront that they are not financially (or otherwise) prepared to take on the responsibility. This is often veterinary expenses, but I've also seen instances where someone says they'll have to "save up" to get proper lighting, housing (insufficient enclosure size) or can't afford feeding costs.

Am I nutz or shouldn't some folks wait until they've already saved enough to cover costs, expenses, and contingencies? (Or find a less expensive to keep pet)

I've waited 6 decades to do this—largely because I wanted to do it right or not at all.

Apologies for the rant.
