Hey there! I love the name and your gorgeous girl! I’m not going to give advice here since I’m not well versed on panthers or girls. I have a male veiled so husbandry is different. But nothing jumps out as wildly off to me. Probably a few tweaks here and there but you are for sure starting off...
Probe thermometers are more accurate from what I have read here. So it may be a few degrees off. You can get them pretty cheap. I think I got a 2 pack from Amazon and I have one on his basking branch and one in the middle of the enclosure. PLUS it also measures humidity. If adjusting the light...
I would try and lift the basking light a few inches (prop it up on something) 89 would be too hot for him. 85 is the max I believe. So if your stick is a couple degrees less, his back should be around 85. How are you measuring temps?
What are your temps at? He doesn’t have his nose titled up like you typically see with RI. They will open their mouths to cool off if they get too hot.
I never knew about keratin plugs 🙃 see this is why I say let others chime in 😅 the vet probably has an abscess on her radar as a possibility if she said lancing it was the next step. My Cham had one. My vet did something very similar. Antibiotics first just to avoid less invasiveness if...
Like already mentioned, movement can be enticing. My guy won’t eat them unless they are moving. They can also be picky eaters and will throw a fit and go on a hunger strike. I see it on here all the time. You just have to keep offering them. Is he full grown?
Hmmmmm to me it looks like an abscess. But I am by no means an expert and have less experience than many here. Is the vet you went to one on our list? When they have an abscess, they have to be drained and cleaned out. Their pus is not really liquid. It’s more of a cottage cheese texture (🤢 I...
No it’s not required to blend. I personally do, then I put in ice cube trays and freeze. I just put a cube in their bin when I feed them. But I only have one Cham and no other reptiles so if I don’t, I end up wasting veggies. They can do just fine without blending or thin portions. ☺️
Correct they are more of a treat. Hornworms I give more often than wax worms. I’ll attach a feeder and gut load list for you. A typical day my guy gets a mix of dubia or discoid roaches and BSFL. I order Small hornworms once a month or so and feed them off as they grow. Every other month I get...
Omg she is soooo cute!!! 😻😻😻 I love piebald babies 🥰 so I’m gonna leave q1 to someone else.
Q2: T5 HO Arcadia 6% or Reptisun T5HO 05. However, uvb cannot penetrate through glass. The top needs to be screen for uvb and ventilation even if your sides are plexiglass. Suspended is just fine as long...
Sorry it took me a few days to get back to you! Here is the form. Copy and paste and fill in as much as you can. I will not be doing your review since I’m not so familiar with panthers, but I can tag in a couple people who are. @MissSkittles @Beman @janjan20
Blue is just adorable and I think...
Hello and welcome! How old is your Cham? Going by the amount of bugs you said, I’m assuming an adult? It sounds like he is used to his bugs being loose in the enclosure and him hunting them down. This is a perfectly fine way for him to eat. Do not use the tongs to give him the bugs. There are...
I just wanna throw an idea out for you guys. I can’t grow plants no matter how hard I try. So to supplement that and his eating them, I took all my old plastic ones and attached to the outside to give him more coverage. This might be a good option for you while you wait for things to grow and...
So I’m not familiar with the details of free range since I don’t do it myself (dogs and cats would not allow that 😅) but I would think that if it’s just for a short time, it wouldn’t be an issue. I know one post I saw a while back had their free range connected to their enclosure by a vine. When...
