Ive owned this ambilobe panther for about two weeks now and would like to see if y'all can help me out with about how old this guy is. I know that they all grow at different rates and as adults the weight and length will differ for most chams. I also know I'll never really know exactly how old...
I highly disagree with her age, but that's just my thoughts. What does she weigh? And she will most likely out grow her shy/scared stage, all of my panthers were like that at a young age and sooner or later out grew it.
It's most likely the heat then, they turn darker in basking temps and when it's just too hot over all. Switch out your basking bulb with a regular light bulb around 45 watts, check the temps and then lower or raise the watts depending on the temp.
Ha yeah I got that male ambilobe as a breeder last week. There is some killer deals in the for sale section from panther from breeders on this site, sometimes they are as low as 150, and pretty much all locals. Also I've have babies for sale later this year from two different bloodlines.
Have you changed anything in his cage lately? Or maybe handling him more often? Can he see any other animals, dogs, cats, other chams?
Other then that stuff just make sure his basking temp is no hotter then 85 until he gets older
I owned a veiled that had one eye exactly like that and I was told it had to of happened during shipping. After he shed twice it was basically all gone, hope they shed soon so you can see if that takes care of it!
Very large plants, tons of sticks for walk ways and vines connecting them all. It's gonna take a lot of stuff though, I had a hard time filling in my new cages and they are only 29"x29"x48"
Nice, well she's a good looking Cham, I looked at her when she first came in. Her limbs appeared straight, eyes looked good and mouth was good. That adult male veiled down there was mine that I traded for a ambanja female.
That's not at all what I was trying to say, I was saying he is trying you escape from the heat just like it sounds. I didn't say holy **** you're going to cook him to death! You asked for help, I gave it, I sure wasn't trying to attack you. I'll let someone else tell you how wrong your set up is...
