Current Problem - The current problem you are concerned about.
Was checking on him today and when he opened his mouth, his inside appears a little yellowish to me. I have a 15 month old Veil with me and I don't remember seeing his mouth like this, it was more pinkish. I am not sure if the condition of my panther is normal or should I be worried about it. Am prepared to to collect his excrement and bring it along with him to the vet if necessary. Have attached his photo below for reference. Any thoughts on this?

The mouth looks fine, a veiled is a diffrent species so you Carnt really compare. I would add more foliage and walk ways to the enclosure and use the d3 and multivitamin once every other week, use each supliment twice a month
 
Hi welcome to the forum. Nothing to worry about. The inside of panthers mouth is yellow. I would use your calcium with d3 and multivitamin twice a month instead of twice a week. Your set up could do with more foliage and vines for him to hide in and walk on. Live plants hold humidity better. Could you increase mistings? I mist four times a day. Your boy looks good.:)

Beat me to it.LOL
 
Thank you very much chameleonkev and Kate. I am so relieved now. Waiting for this weekend to add in more branches and foilage. Will also amend the supplement schedule. Can't wait for my boy to grow bigger to determine his locale. The shop who sold me says it is either an ambilobe or sambava.
 
Can't comment on local but defiantly a panther:) keep posting pics and when he starts to get his colours someone with more experience will help.:)
