Hello everyone, So sorry for an informal introduction of myself.
Around January of this year, I moved into my fraternity house, One of my pledge brothers had already been residing there for the semester before and he has been an avid reptile fan. Mainly a snake, 2 bearded dragons, 2 tarantulas,... anyways, he began with a veil who was very mean. And I began taking a liking into his reptiles when He bought a panther male and 2 female panthers. and lets just say I am hooked on the panther chams... they are absolutely adorable.
recently, he built a cage with the chams in their own enclosures but right next to each other like so
+++++++++++++++++++++++
+ + + +
+ + + 2FP +
+ MP + MV + +
+ + + +
+ + + +
+++++++++++++++++++++++
MP= Male Panther
MV= Male veil
2FP = 2 female panthers (no problem in same cage)
Anyways, While he was gone he asked me to take care of them, which I did.
I noticed one of the females was eyeballing the veil.. I asked him about it and he said it was impossible.
A day later I come to mist their cage and I catch them doing the dirty. She somehow broke into the males cage and mated with him.
He thought nothing of it, But I monitered her closely and did my own research online, She was definately getting pregnant. (he can be stubborn sometimes since hes the reptile guy)
Anyways, So i called out her digging and after she laid her eggs, we pulled the potted plant out and found a clutch of eggs. We found many of the eggs to have veins and assumed them to be fertile and placed them to incubation (now he takes my recomendations into consideration)
I wanted to see your guys's thoughts on this?
Also, We recently bought another ambilobe virgin whose about a year and 3 months.
we tried mating her with the male panther since we sold the veil since what happened last time. But when we introduce the male into the female enclosure... He seems to be too aggressive and moving to fast on her. And when we do vice versa with the female in his cage. He moves to slow and watches from a distance. almost as if uninterested. I know I posted a lot here. Hopefully someone can give their insight btw, I love chams so much now
