How active should my 3 month old panther be?

[JulianoChameleano]

My little guy just shed two days ago but seems to be basking a lot and is pretty dark when he does so. He moves around quite a bit and is normal colored but he will bask for like four+ hours a day off and on.

What's normal? Also how many small nymph dubias should he be eating a day? Is it okay to offer Dubia and crickets at the same time? What ratio?

TIA!

What temperature is his basking spot?

They can eat as much as they like.

His basking spot is 83° and I just let his feeders free roam so he can hunt. I haven't had any success with him cup feeding yet. I put about 15-20 feeders in daily. Take out what crickets he doesn't eat.

this is him today. He is almost 3 months old.

Basking spot can be a little warmer. He is so cute, I'm so jealous. How warm is the rest of the cage?

Wow! Your guy is showing beautiful colors for being less than 3 months. This is my guy who just turned 4 months. He only has a small patch of green on his cheek area and tiny specs of it on his body. Other than that, he's brown as can be

Yours is really 4 months? That looks pretty small. I hope mine will be bigger than that.

Yes indeed! At least that is what the local breeder I got him from told me. I was a little iffy about the age as well since he is so small. Maybe he hatched a bit later than the rest, who knows for sure? Everyone so far has told me it's a male, but I'd be lying if I told you I didn't have the slightest thought that it could be a female He also doesn't appear to eat as much as the other's on here that I've read about, maybe 3-4 Dubias a day. Also may be the reason why he's not growing as fast. Other than that, he's pretty healthy.

Maybe a runt of the litter? I think for my first one I would like one that is bigger. Glad to hear that yours is healthy gives me promise if mine is small.

My guy was very big for his age compared to the others he hatched with. He is from Crazy Eyes Chams. His sure is Cpt Kirk. He just shed and is showing a lot of green now, I'm excited to see how he turns out. I think I'm gonna change his basking bulb tomorrow. Get it a little warmer.
