Is it normal to not see any colors in my 4 month old panther?

As other people suggested for his age the temps are a bit too high.
The colours will come later on. Panthers are constanly growing until 18 months of age.

Hey Luke, mine looks very similar to yours in color (the last pic I showed was him at his brightest). I've read that baby panthers usually have darker gray colors when basking to absorb more heat.

Kubo's daily routine sounds pretty normal to Toby's, as well.

Keep us posted!

he is just a late bloomer

Does he always lay on the branch like that?

Not always, he does it once in a while, then continues exploring the cage. He climbed out the tank unto me for the first time today, so I'm think I'm over thinking.

Normally at that size there is lots of color showing through. But sometimes they are late bloomers. I say just keep doing what your doing and before you know it his color is going to start to crack. Bruce has some really nice animals I'm sure he's going to be a stunner. I'd bet on it!!

Good to hear! And yes Bruce has beautiful animals. I'm hoping he gets some of those genes!

Awesome that's good to hear! Awesome we found each other so we can compare their habits. I will be staying in contact for sure!

I think I misread the temp. My infrared thermometer is reading anywhere from 82-92.
