Fecal description-Typical white or brown. Yes, you should see fecals on a daily or almost daily basis. There should be 2 parts. The fecal and the urate. The urate should be white, sometimes with a tingle of yellow, but mostly white. (good tell for dehydration if mostly yellow to orange) There's a lot of good posts on here to explore this topic
.
History-Has had right eye irritation, sometimes open, sometimes closed. THis is a issue that maybe solved with more frequent mistings as he may have something in his eye. I'd like to see a close up of his eye. Keep an "eye" on it and if it's getting worse, find a vet.
Cage type- Homemade screen cage, unknown dimensions but over 3 feet tall. Good deal, the bigger the better, but if he has roughly 24x24x36, he should be good. More plants/ vines the better.
Lighting-Standard 100w bulb for basking, UVB 5.0, night time heat lamp. Good, as indicated, loose the heat lamp. They need a flux down to 60* or so at night.
Temperature-typically 85-90 during day for basking. 75-80 in non-basking spots. Basking may be a little warm for a panther. 75-80 seems right for non-basking spots.
Humidity- anywhere from 40 to 70. Good. Make sure you get at lest three readings at 70% after misting.
Plants- None, haven't purchased any yet. Yikes!!!! Load the enclosure up. I know it may be difficult to find in Philly in the witer months, but you might check Home Depot or Lowes for Ficus Benjamina, pothos and an umbrella plant.
Placement- my bedroom. I'm hardly in there so it's a good place for him to be away from people. Central air vent on other side of room. Good
Location- Philadelphia Cool! I'd like to see the city oof brotherly love and the liberty bell one day.
Current problem-He seems to be very small for an 8 or 9 month old panther cham. Your husbandry seems to be off a little, but perhaps it can be corrected with a few adjustments. Do you have a current vet? Have you had a fecal done? You mentioned that he had a rather large sperm plug discharge recently?
