A week ago I bought a 3- 3.5 month old panther, and I have a few questions about him!
He has only eaten 2 crickets in the last week, he does not seem interested in food, however he is hydrating very well! Is the food thing an issue or will he ear when ready? I have also been offering phonix worms to him.

He also spends alot of time in his ficus tree about half way down the cage, and stays dark colors. Brown and black, except when sleeping. Do his colors in the photos appear to be stress colors?


And finally, although the pictures are not great, does he indeed appear to be a he??

Thanks Everyone!!

OH! and does his cage look to big for him? It is 16x16x30

His cage should be alright. But him not eating is an issue. Try cup feeding (with the cup attached to the branch, he may not be comfortable eating in front of you). Some recommended feeders are (gutloaded) crickets, and silkworms. Both are good staple feeders. Some good "treats" are hornworms and butterworms.

I am gutloading my crickets now with carrots, celery, orange and banana!
I offer crickets in a cup and few free roam. He has eaten two free roam, but non out of the cup. I also offer the phonix worms in a cup, but he has not eaten any of those yet.
Is his coloring a concern?
