By request...more pics!

The first is a closeup and visual of normal cage color. The second is of the speckled color he sometimes gets while climbing around.

These are of the updated habitats: with second bulb, foliage, and bedding.
...and yes, he is sleeping.

Its great that you're trying to make the enclosure better, but he still needs way more foliage. I would take a picture of mine, but my little guy is asleep and I don't want to wake him up! Check out some of the enclosures in the Enclosures and supplies section. There you will see what is appropriate.

Hope I helped.

edit: Heres a link to the section.

First is closeup of feet, second of underbelly, third is him sleeping.

 

[PascalDude]

Yea, I'm trying to get some live plant in there to help with the humidity too. Thank you for your help! All is appreciated!!

 

[Pilotman800]

He's a cute little guy.

...and I do turn out all the lights at night. I just turned these on for a moment to get the pics up here.

 

[PascalDude]

oh thanks!
I was afraid that because he was just brown, tan, and pale green that he was dehydrated! But I suppose he's okay. I mist him and the cage all the time!

Yes, at night turn off all the lights.

No problem!

Usually you can tell that they're dehydrated when their eyes are sunken in. Much like the one I am providing in the link below. (This is an EXTREME case)

edit: Also forgot to mention that the urates should be white. If they are orange or yellow, that is also a sign of dehydration.

 

[PascalDude]

okay. thanks. His urate is usually white but every once in awhle it will be yellowish with an orange tip.

btw, does anyone know what my cham is exactly?
I was told he was a male veiled but some people on here think it could also be a female and panther??

 

[justjumpit621]

well it looks veiled like but there are no spurs or a casque forming so could actually be a female veiled. How old is it again?

 

[kinyonga]

Looks like a male Senegal to me.
What brand and type (spiral, compact, long linear tube, etc.) UVB light are you using?

You need to gutload/feed your insects a better diet IMHO.
Does your calcium contain phosphorus or D3 or vitamin A?

Sorry...don't know what the black powder looking stuff in the back of his throat is.

 

[justjumpit621]

honestly it's anyone's guess without better pictures. outside natural light without fuzziness would show it best.

It's definitely no Veiled, after that I can't help you much, despite enjoying the pretty pictures I'm not certain about Panthers at all.......and people do seem to get a bit precious about their expensive sub-species..........apart from to tell you a few other things it definitely isn't (Parsons, Jacksons, etc, lol)
