Complete set up

[Jago]

Hi there,

Im completely new to the forum and chams but ive been keen to get one for a while now. I just really wanted some freindly advice concerning what sort of viv and equipment to purchase ready for when I buy the cham. Ive scoured the net and read many different ideas on what best suits a cham. I have also spoke to a breeder and a specialist reptile shop but both gave me different opinions. If anyone with a male panther could give me a full run down of all the gear they have i would very much appreciate it. Thanks

Thanks peeps, Im in the UK if that makes a difference. The reptile specialist i spoke to said to be weary of US set ups cos the climate differs. Also they recommended a glass Viv, this was to maintain the heat and humidity. And they said that no stress would occur to the cham cos there generally captive bred and more than likely have lived in a glass viv from day 1. Ill check out all the set ups youve posted. Thanks again
