hi guys, this is falkor my one year old panther Cham. I’m having some doubts that he is actually male, this is also the most color he/she ever shows. He/she eats very well, along with the appropriate calcium’s and vitamins. Has plenty of water/humidity access, from a mister and a dripper. If any one could possibly help with sexing that would be great, and I’m always open to any advice for extra care
Hello and welcome! You have a stunning female panther
You mentioned she is a year old, she will lay eggs with or without a male, much like chickens do. How long have you had her? You will need to provide a lay bin as a permanent part of her enclosure. I've attached a document that will walk you through how to provide a proper lay bin for your little lady.
If you are open to completing a husbandry review, I'd love to go over it. Providing the correct lighting, supplementation, etc helps avoid issues with their egg laying process.
