You're probably looking at 2x2x4high for adult male.

Prices will vary depending on the locale, £150 ish?!

and this might sound stupid but couldnt giving a reptile to big of an enclosure make it stressed because it certainly does with other things

As long as you can provide the correct temperatures and humidity and also allow them to find their food then, in my opinion, bigger is better. Cool

Hey David,

As I've said to you before, for a male panther ideally you are wanting a 2x2x4. Due to them being tree dwelling lizards you really need the extra height as this makes them feel more secure. Also once you have filled it with plants etc you will realize you need the space.

As for prices - what age are you looking for? Young panthers can be bought for roughly £130+. The most expensive from the list would probably be the mitsio which will cost around £350-£400.

I believe the Orena Mena are a locality cross and i don't think screameleons has released any for the general public. Certainly never heard of them being for sale in the UK

Sorry hit the wrong number - for an adult male i would recommend a minimum viv size of 2x2x3
