Hi everyone! I am looking to buy a male panther chameleon within the next 2 weeks or so. I have been looking online at websites and even went to the sponsored section of this site to find who is recommended. I at first was 100% going to buy one from FLCHams but after researching they have a lot of bad history? So now I don't know where to purchase. I have seen the other sites but it seems everyone is out of male panthers and mainly have females only at this time. I dont know who is restocking any time soon. Also, I kind of want one with more red coloring in its bloodline. I know that it may not look anything like the parents but I just love the color red so if I have a CHANCE of having that coloring I would prefer. Of course I will love my chameleon even if he doesnt end up with any red :) I did find a site called robersons reptiles but I cant find too much on it. I obviously want to buy from a trustoworthy breeder. I however reached out as the site mentioned they get new arrivals weekly and he said they should be getting males soon... SHould I trust it? Or, Any other recommendations thank you in advance!

Umm... It's not exactly like you can put in an order and they spit one out. Panther chameleon eggs usually take over 6 months to incubate, and then responsible breeders raise them up for the first 3 months after hatching, so the whole process can take close to a year.

I waited 7 months to get a male, but it was worth it. I used the time to read, learn, learn more, set up an enclosure the right way, and get it running smoothly for at least a month before the little guy arrived.

Have you tried the classified section here?

There are some panthers listed there.

iPardalis has males available, but you place your order and wait a few months. If you got to their website, look at Upcoming Clutches page and you'll see something like this:

It is worth it to wait or pay more and get a healthy chameleon from a good breeder vs. from a place that has been known to sell chams with parasites. You get what you pay for when it comes to chameleons. I know FramsChams has TONS of babies right now.

^^^^^^^ This.... I really do not think people understand the hell you go through with chameleons that come to you with parasites.
 
You might try plowshredder he is a member here. He has a couple of males that should be ready in a few weeks and also a new clutch that recently hatched and they will be 2 to 3 months out.
 
Thanks everyone for your replies! I did email a few of the ones recommended above, just awaiting a response. The others more recently suggested though I will take a look once I get back home and see. I 100% def want to buy from someone reputable and has heathy chameleons which is why I figured I would get other suggestions than FLChams. Its weird that their a sponsor of the site but not recommended right? Anyways, thanks everyone for your input! I have taken notes :)

In regards to FramsChams, they are the breeder I ultimately decided to go with and have been excellent to work with so far. Like @Gingero said, they have quite a few chameleons available and are highly responsive on Instagram. I definitely recommend reaching out to them on that platform (send them a direct message). They mentioned yesterday that they would be making several ambilobe male holdbacks available today (07/15/2021).
