Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

How to ship an adult Panther cham?
I read an excellent post that described appropriate shipping of reptiles in detail...can't find it again to be able to name it but what a great post. I'll be using every suggestion.
I'm shipping a live adult panther cham from PA to IN. Since these are arboreal, I'm wondering if it would be appropriate to ship him on a branch or vine...any input would be so appreciated.

Wow, not a single response. I guess the question wasn't appropriate for this venue - I'll ask again in the chameleons section.

The one time I shipped a Panther I used a large tuperware container (like the bowls) and filled it with paper towel. I would be afraid of using anything too strong in there in case it hit him during shipping. It might not have been the most comfortable for him, but he got there without problems.

For difficult to ship, prehensile or climbing animals we have used plastic vines (very inexpensive in WalMart or similar department stores) coiled inside the deli. They will not move around and will give plenty of places for the animal to get a hold of. Hope this helps.
Regards.

I did ship him, and managed to get him there safely! I used a new, fair size plastic pitcher and a branch. I wedged the branch in there with the end sticking out the spout, then taped it to the outside of the pitcher so it couldn't move. Charlie got there fine, what a relief!!! Thank you for your help, Brian and Dan...what a tough thing to do. I shipped him via UPS, and I could hear him fighting his container in the box... he did arrive fine though. I put a picture of him on the outside of the box, and I think they were extra careful with his package. He arrived with not so much as a bruise.

Gosh, no apologies necessary...thank you so much for your kind responses. I was wondering why no responses, I was afraid I'd said something wrong in some earlier post, and now I was doomed to be a leper or something!
