Hi everyone, i ordered my frist cham after 8 months of research and now i'm ready, i would be SUPER GRATFUL for all the advise you guys and ladies can give me please keep in mind that this was not an impulse purchase. I have keep other reptile for about 5 years off and on. Never have i lost a reptile because i was not prepared, i know that i am prepared for this and welcome all the challages and work that come with it. I just want the most info i can get, i can see that people here KNOW WHAT THEY TALK ABOUT. so any info you guys can give me would be great...
opps almost forgot i ordered an ambilobe male 3.5 months old... thanks :)
 
For starters you ought to fill out the health form so we could look over your setup and supplies and tell you what you might be missing, or some tweaks we think you should make. Goo luck with the new cham. Panthers are my all time favorite and im sure you'll be chamdicted like everyone else on this site in a matter of seconds after seeing the little guy.:)
