Normal for 4 mo Panther to be so small?

Looks male to me too, what locale is it and which is the sire? Mine is from Chameleon Company too and just turned 5 months old last week

Like I said in your other thread, it could be normal the way he's growing, but I would seriously get a fecal test done on him for parasites and ask them to specifically check for coccidia. Coccidia is a deadly parasite, which causes the animal to eat very little, to stunt their growth, a lot of other nastier stuff happens as it gets worse. It is eventually lethal. It's not a nice death either, it also is highly contagious from reptile to reptile and if you do have to treat him for coccidia make sure you are hyper diligent about washing your hands and cleaning fecal matter from his enclosure. Every day he should have fecal matter cleaned from his enclosure and the spot wiped down with a bleach wipe, then soap and water, then just water. Coccidia is specific to each genome, so it can't pass to you or anything else that isn't a reptile. I hope he doesn't have coccidia. But I do honestly think he should be larger and definitely have more of an appetite, my male was much larger at 4 months and he is a very small panther in general. His colors might develop later but what you have to worry about is his appetite and growth at the moment. I hope you do take him into the vet and if you do I hope you guys have a clean fecal. However it's best to be safe and sure ^^
