Okay! A couple days ago I asked about his coloring and how far it usually takes to show some try colors. He is showing some reds and a couple small spots of blue (which is weird because the Kammers 'Oh-My' is mostly orange red and yellow). Some members asked to show some up to date photos so I just took some and here they are! The first one is him attacking a cricket. So cute

I got my Panther from the Kammers and he didnt start showing lots of color until about 5 months maybe 5 and a half, just like yours little bits of red on the neck it just takes a while. Mine will be 7 months in a few days and he is showing good color now. On my guy when it started to come it came fast how many sheds have you noticed? Seems like it came in more after a few sheds for mine

The sire is red and yellow even when resting?

They sometimes go through color phases that eventually disappear as they get closer the the 24 month mark. At that point, it is unlikely that they will develop any new colors.

When he sleeps he has dark red (like blood red) stripes and is a light sand color. I have only seen two sheds since I've had him. I doubt he had any before I got him

Panther Chams often develop colors at different times, as well as change colors completely from juvenile to adulthood.

This is normal. My Cham looked like your guy when he was 4 months and started to show colour when he was about 5 months. He is now 7 months and looking really good. I have been dusting my crickets with super pig from Repashy, Which has been working really well.

Great news! thanks, I'm just excited and eager to see what he will look like since ive never seen a full blown panther with color other than on this site

Lol. I have been feeling the same. It changes fast, take a pic every week and you will be able to notice a difference. If you can find the super pig use that. Also make sure your crickets are getting a good diet as that will help too. Im still new to this, but what I have been doing seems to be working well.
