Really depends on species. For panthers I think I’d translate similar to this:
0-3 months - 0-2 human years
3-7 months - 3-12 human years
7-15 months - 13-18 human years
15-24 months - 19-30 human years
2yrs-5yrs - 31-50 human years
5yrs-8yrs - 51-75 human years
8yrs-10yrs - 76-85 human years...
Hello, and welcome to the forums! I’m not sure what’s going on with his eye, but we can try to troubleshoot the issue better if you fill in the husbandry form:
Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - The species, sex, and age of your chameleon. How long has it been in your care?
Handling - How often...
Good to hear with testing for parasites, good herp vets are not terribly common. UVB looks good, and manual misting with a drip should be more than enough until tomorrow.
90 is too hot, even for a basking spot. As I said earlier, under 85 is best. If an incandescent doesn’t get it warm enough...
Hello, and welcome to the forums!
A couple questions/pointers for you:
- CHEs are not ideal, household incandescent bulbs are generally the best option for heating.
- How big is your enclosure? It looks a bit smaller than is recommended.
- So far the setup looks good, but you’ll want to...
Great job with the gutloading. You just didn’t mention it in the form so I wasn’t sure. I would prioritize the bigger enclosure, then the mister, then the timer.
A 50 watt should be good, if it’s too hot you can always raise the fixture. I use a 60w, and it works great. Distance is the main...
Feedback will be in bold:
Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - Piebald Veiled Chameleon, Female, approximately 2-3 months but I’m not completely sure because the store didn’t tell me, she’s been in my care for 19 days.
Handling - I rarely handle her, I started interacting with her a few days ago...
A few things…
You definitely have a girl there. Once she is old enough, you will have to install a lay bin as they will lay infertile eggs whether mated or not once mature.
The enclosure shown isn’t big enough for a fully grown cham, when you can afford it a 24”x24”x48” reptibreeze is...
Pretty low-maintenance. He eats twice a week, and doesn’t need heat or uvb (I still provide uvb just in case tho). The enclosure’s a 4’x1’x1.5’ aquarium that I set up as a bioactive paludarium, though 10-20 gallon tanks are recommended as the minimum.
By far my favourite amphibian I’ve kept...
I took my male panther in to a vet for a checkup and blood work today. When we got home, half of his tail turned dark on one side, is this normal after blood is drawn or should I be concerned?
