baby cham misting and eating.

[PantherVeileD]

I have some panther babies cham a little over 2 months old.

Do you guys mist first then feed, or feed then mist? This is an hr seperation.. not after another.

This morning the light came on and then an hr later I tried feeding these guys... They seem to be sleepy still but its already 10am pacific time. So I've waited an hr later and decide to mist the tank. Waited an hr and a half after and threw in more fruitflies.. Now they are hunting the flies down!!

Them seem to be really happy with the enclosure. Also another thing is two of them likes to hang out in the vines and their color are normally brown/black or grey/brown. The other two likes to hang out on the umbrella tree and their colors are orange/oranish brown. My reptisun 5.0 uvb is over the vines.

They're internal clock doesn't go based on the time of day, but the duration of their artifical day. I set my mister time to mist an hour after the lights come on, mid day, and an hour before the lights go out. I feed whenever I'm available to do so, which will vary from day to day, so they're not on a feeding schedule (not intentional). I don't like to feed and mist at the same time, but I don't see it being a problem as that type of situation would easily occur in the wild.

You'll probably notice that they are darker while basking to assist in absorbing heat.

I always water then feed myself sometimes the hatchlings sleep a long time.

Misting before feeding would be a good idea. If you dust crickets and then mist... you just washed away the calcium or whatever you dusted with.
