Welcome to the forums! Nice panthers! Lance is an awesome breeder! A bit of advice for you. Don't feed your panthers in the evenings. They need to warms up for a while after they eat to digest their food. The mornings or early afternoon is the best time to feed.

For supplements, you need three kinds. Plain calcium with no D3, calcium with d3 and a multi vit. I use these, the 1st, 3rd & 5th. http://lllreptile.com/store/catalog/reptile-supplies/vitamins-medicines-and-cage-cleaners/

You will lightly dust with the plain calcium at just about every feeding, d3 calcium twice a month and the multi. vit. once a month.

The supplement schedule changes according to what type of supplements you have. I use the 1st, 3rd, and 5th on this site. http://lllreptile.com/store/catalog/reptile-supplies/vitamins-medicines-and-cage-cleaners/

Thanks guys. I like your schedule Pshh's. Ima gonna do it!

Lance is a great breeder fosho. These guys are so plumpy and healthy. He's also a very cool guy.

Glad to help. Also, if you dont want your female to lay clutches, or at least very small clutches, lower her temps to 80 and start to feed her 6-8 crickets (or equivalent of) about three times a week.

I would add a visual barrier between the two cages, dont want them to stress out!
