What are all the black spots ... Bruises???

This is the "Normal Panther Chamelon", right? From your post yesterday

 

[Catherine896]

Yeah lol. I was hoping it was a male!

Definately Female... No way to tell the locale unless you can get in touch with who ever hatched her.

If those are Bruises , somebody kicked the crap out of that cham. Looks like some kind of skin fungus. Big Red Flag!

I know we have several UK Members on the site, I am sure you can find a good breeder from the UK that you are sure to get a healty animal from. If they are letting her get chewed on that bad, I would never buy an animal from them...Maybe liberate a few, but that animal is obiously not being kept in good conditions.

So you want to get a Male Panther? Good Luck! I hope you find a reliable dealer.

Female, has she ever mated? they could be mating wounds.

Most female panthers are peachy/brown/tanish. The best way to tell is to look for a hemipenal bulge at the base of the tail which is absent from her.

Thanks, I was in contact with a good breeder - until he told me he sent them through the post!!
Im in contact with another person about some nosey be babies though so fingers crossed!

Thanks

Mailing Chams is a very common, and if done correctly, safe practice, that is probably the most common way to purchase a Cham with hobbiests here in the states. I don't know how reliable the shipping services are over there...But I am pretty sure UPS is international correct?

 

[Catherine896]

Yeah its done over here but with a courier that legally transports live animals. This breeder meant going through a company called royal mail which isnt legally allowed to transport live animals and arent reliable atall! Ive had livefoods come through them and all the tubs were smashed to pieces!
