Can someone tell me how this poop looks. Its our panther's first poop since we got him and im a little concerned due to the colour, please tell me what you think,
cheers, David

The orange urinate tells you that he is dehydrated.
The darker the urinate the more dehydrated he is and this looks very dark so you should have a close look at how much he drinks.
Do you have a dripper?

Hello and welcome to the forums. I would say he's dehydrated. The part that's orange should be white. Do you have a dripper? I'm goning to attach my blog for you below for new keepers.

Hi thanks for your quick replies, yes he has a dripper about one drip every three seconds onto a ficus plant, hes eating very well and has been very active tonight, ive have been spraying three times a day soaking all the plants vines and him. We only got him home from the pet shop saturday afternoon so he was stressed for the first day not moving and hiding in the corner alot, will he start drinking the more he settles in, or have i got to make him drink somehow?

That's probably poop he should have left in the store where he didn't get enough water. I'm sure the urates will get increasingly white over the next couple of days.

And, by the way, welcome!

Elizadolots is probably right.
What do you mean by "very active tonight"?
Chams are supposed to sleep at night

He's had a good look around his setup before his lights went out at eight, i got in from work at five and he's been all over the place

 

[lumbasammler]

Okay, just thought he would have walked around after the lights were of or something.

Hi and thank you im a little less concerned now, but i will be spraying him extra in the morning

 

[Davey2coops]

Just to let you guys know he's been drinking from the dripper fine AWESOME

 

[Elizadolots]

Yay! It's always very satisfying to see them drink.

If you still have the orange urate after a while, hornworms are a great hydrator. I have a problem male that is 3.5 years old that is not as easy to hydrate and I inject feeders with water as well as feed hornworms and silkworms regularily. He is a special case so hopefully you do not have to take the extra precaution. I thought the hornworms was worth mentioning. The quicker you get him well hydrated the better since it can be bad for their kidneys to go for very long in that state. Good luck!

Thanks reptoman, its a great pointer that i will certainly look to if need be in the future. Im looking to use a very wide range of feeders so adding these, if i can obtain them will be useful,
thanks again
