Some female panthers will start to produce a clutch even just by seeing a male in close proximity. She could be. The colors dont seem to scream out that shes gravid and its too early to tell by her size. Maybe let her see him through the cage. If she has started producing eggs, shell freak and...
I can totally relate. One of my favourite things in the world is to wake up early Saturday morning and admire my chams. Trials and tribulations are well worth it. Atticus is a true stunner and your obviously doing a bang up job with the husbandry.
Tough love is sometimes the best answer. How old are your chams? How is the fat reserve? Maybe dont offer anything for a couple of weeks? It has worked for me when this what ive had to do. I had a male panther go on a real bad hunger strike prior to feeding him a dragonfly. He wouldnt take any...
No A/C in the truck today and the temps where hitting like 52 degrees because of the engine heat. Insane! Glad to be back home making some tunes and misting down the chams!
exactly what I was thinking. I live Further north than that and the temp drops to 69 at night. My animals have no trouble tolerating this temp. It doesnt make sense to raise the temp at night. Your chams should move slow in the morning as all cold blooded animals do until they warm up.
The mazuri diet and d3 every day is way too much d3. It is very potent. They claim that within six days the cal/phos ratio within crickets is reversed on this diet. The fact that it contains preformed a and d3 in a reasonable ratio and a well rounded amount of nutrients, suggests that...
Ive never done this so dont jump all over me... But, how many of you think that larger species of chams could possibly prey on small birds or chics out of the nest in the wild more than once in their life? Ive had to shoo away more than one hummingbird who possibly mistook the color of my male...
Many people use supplements containing preformed vitamin a with great success. Many also believe that panthers can not convert beta carotine into preformed vitamin a.Preformed A can be dangerous if used incorrectly but it has to do with the interaction between vitamin a & d3. Some people do have...
Ahh poor guy! Sounds like youve done good for your cham. 3 plus years in your care is a good thing. Many people may jump in and say theyre able to keep their animals alive for seven or more years, most often seen in veilds and some learning experience through years of keeping these tremendous...
Thanks again everyone. DEZ and I just finished renovating a roughed in washroom into our new cham room. Had to make more room for our new arrivals. It's nice to hear people find our chams so nice. We will be looking for good homes for the youngsters as soon as they hatch. More pics to comE:D
thats great. so i guess i could keep the uvb source higher up and it would be sufficient? Ill be new to using such small feeders, any tips? Do you feed whatever they can eat within 5 minutes? 2-3 times a day?
