One month old Panther starting to get colours..

[hejfisken]

I have started to see my little pantherman showing some green spots on the head, some green/blue on the legs and lighter blue on the throat. Is it normal seeing the colour at an age of about 40 days?

I don´t know if you guys can see my facebook link to the picture but I´ll give it a try.

Very cute little panther, congratulations! Panthers start showing color at different ages, some as young as a couple weeks, others take a few months, so it's totally normal.

Oh my god he is so tiny and ALL eyes! So cute...

Mine just started showing colors last week on his body. He had a few spots of green on his face a month ago but now is starting to really become more vibrant.

He turns 5 months on the 21st.

It seems to me baby panthers will color up within weeks, and then go dull for a month or so before coloring up again.

He will probably go gray or beige for a while after his next shed and then really start to color up slowly after that.

I see the same thing happen with my crested geckos. You almost get a 'preview' of what they will look like as adults within the first few weeks, and then they go into a 'blah' growing stage, not as colorful until they get to about 3-5 months of age.
