Never seen anything like this with my panther - cup feeding or free roam? Maybe he damaged his tongue feeding?
But if he using it with no issues after, he is prob ok. Hope that it doesnt happen again.
First, thanks for trying to do a good thing and rescue an animal that had no choice in this situation. These guys and gals depend on us, so thanks for trying to help give this cham a better life.
1) Get rid of that waterfall - typically leads to bacterial infections, unless you plan on...
Is it night-time?
YES: Depends on how he reacts to handling or being startled. Mine will get sleepy eyed when the sun starts going down, and will fall asleep anywhere. If not in his cage, I just gently pick him up and transfer him back to his home-base. He typically just wants to stay asleep...
Well...I simply noticed that when I turned off all his lights at once, he basically set up shop and slept where he was when the lights went out. Those spots looked a bit uncomfortable, and different than where he would normally choose to sleep when given a few minutes of low light to get the...
I simply turn off my big UVB overhead first and leave the basking light on and softly glowing for 30min or as the sun goes down... I know what youre talking about and my cham seems to appreciate the subtle change rather than the harsh change from light to instant dark.

My point is, you'll...
Sometimes he goes dark outside to absorb the sunlight and also he is super chill....so typically he has his I'm just chillin colors on which is that emerald green and some dark reds that almost look black in this pic.
Its good she is eating, and hopefully drinking plenty too... but she does seem very small. Glad to hear you have another healthy male, so you probably have the correct equipment: Good UVB source, adequate heat/basking zone, some calcium without D3 dusted on food daily, along with some dusted...
My cham literally cant keep his little eyes open if he's tired... he will pass out anywhere. If you think he didnt get proper sleep, that might be the issue; coupled with a new environment which maybe left him stressed and dehydrated. Just watch him the next couple days...
Make sure your cham is drinking enough water and only eats in the daytime - Not sure what they tested in bloodwork, but different tests show different things, and they would have to have done specific tests to see different problems. Without knowing what tests they did, if they said nothing is...
