i did not measure the water just wet it until only one drop of water when squeezed. Howerver I did it beween fingers vs a hand full and when i did the hand full it dripped more water maybe 4 or 5 drops. I had moved them to dryer mix when the first few eggs got mold but the rest still follow...
Thanks for talking with me, no one seems to reply much to me. I had mated her about 5 weeks prior and she is just under a yr old so it was her first time. My male has not been at his best, which is why I mated her because he is so sweet and beautiful. This winter his eyes started to bother...
This was my first attempt and all but one has not gotten mold on it. I guess it was too moist. I am very sad. My question is will she lay more eggs again soon? It has only been about 2 or 3 weeks since she layed them. I read that she doesnt need to mate again and I do not want to mate her...
Well now I have my first batch of eggs! I was reading and looking at photos of other panther eggs and the substrate used. I did the thumb print and put the egg in it. so the vermiculite is not touching the sides of eggs I am also going to check the moisture again tomorrow (eggs layed last...
****I have 34 beautiful little eggs** and best of all mom is ok. It is late so she only ate one worm, but i think she is fine. She was made i dug them up after all that hard work she did *** Thanks again to all***
she is covering her eggs!!!
Thanks so much she is just covering them up to come out now. I put the light on and will give her water and food, if she will eat when she is done. but again should i leave the eggs in dirt tonight and take them out in am? or do it tonight? I really appreciate...
Thanks so much for the help. I covered her cage today with sheet and she dug a large hole and has now been sitting in for over 3 to 4 hrs. she normally doesnt move after this time of day, 6pm and i need to go to work in am. will she stay in the hole all night? Is it ok to leave the eggs in...
Thanks so much I will try this. Yes, I had been watching her alot but was just peeking yesterday and she got all black while digging and went dow about 3" then just came back out. Thanks for the help.
I have tried to leave her alone, but do keep peeking. I will try a cover thanks. It is potting soil in a 5 gal bucket, I have now added moist sand to the the top 3" but the bucket if full. It did dry out some, but appears it will still hold a tunnel. I had read she would not lay for 60 days...
My female panther was breed just over 5 weeks ago. I have given her dirt and all over the last week but may not have started soon enough from what i have just read here. Could she be egg bound? she is digging holes now but then just digs another. I am now afraid i am going to loose her. She...
sunken in eye
HI, I was reading yours and it sounds alot like mine. My male Panther has been doing this all winter too. He allows me to rub it and he rubs it on a tree. I was wondering if it might be small bugs? That are trying to get mosture? I do not have all as perfect as you with care...

My panther female has been gravid for 5 weeks? you stated yours was only 22 days? She is young under 1yr and has been starting to dig but then stops. i have a 5 gal bucket full to the top with potting soil now in a large cage, (she was loose on the front porch before). Is...
