The black spots aren’t new, he’s had them forever and I think they’re a discoloration from the breeder. Thanks for the note about overheating! Will turn it back down.
It’s been getting colder during the day (I live in Southern California so “cold” means my house is about 65-68 degrees), so I thought my panther might be cold.

Yeah I think our temps will be fine here to bring him outside in the sun. I brought him outside last summer/fall when it was warmer! So he’s semi-used to it although it’s been a few months.
Good news, since I put that new branch in there he is perking up a bit so hopefully it was that! He is...
Ok thank you, I just moved him to a higher branch, we will see how it does up there. Is it worth taking him outside in the sun? I know that’s not really the same as the UVB bulb but maybe do that this week until he feels better?
