Exactly, thats why i stated "Good luck finding them for under $200" haha. You paid $400. But, you're breeding aswell so your revenue may be high, but profit might be minimum considering you sell your chams for $200, Which is a steal in my eyes. To me, anything $250-$300 shipped is fair. You got to take account of equipment cost, and LABOR, also shipping. Just those 3 is a big reason why panthers are so expensive. Wish i had some extra money to get another panther!1 clutch...3000 cricket per week,Plus FF, heating or A/C for that seprate room or rooms, Bulbs& fixtures,Vines,bins, cages and misting supplys add up quick. Then there the Cost of keeping the adults healthy.Friday I had one at the Vet... So 200 plus shipping is a smoke'n deal.The last male I bought from screameleons was 350 and 55 in shipped to my door.And he is a well respected site sponcer.
I got a "okay" deal for my Ambanja (I was told he was a Nosy Be though) for $250, no shipping. BUT i took the chance of a petshop cham which i highly suggest you not go that route.
Pretty much you get what you pay for. If you want an amazing Faly or some rare locale, you'd have to pay BIG bucks.
But, if you go to a show you won't have to pay for shipping and usually they're allot cheaper and it depends what type of locale you want.
