Hello Everyone in the Cham World..LOL!

WHen should I put my Panther Chams together for mating? I'm waiting to see if my female is going to lay eggs or not, so do I need to wait til she lays her eggs? What is the normal routine I should follow to properly mate these two? If you look at my gallery I have pics posted of both of them!

Ok again...thanks for the replies!!

when shes receptive. not after shes layed eggs. she should be a nice pechypink color. try to put her in when she is. if she gets mad take her out and try again ina day or 2. when they do mate than your good. theres alot of posts like this so you could have probally done a serch.

I knew that part...thanks for the tip tho! My question is when do I put them together if she is suppose to lay eggs soon

First off, make sure that you can properly care for numerous hatchlings, you have the supplies, time and money.

Babies are not cheap at all.

She needs to lay an infertile clutch of eggs before she gets bred, and she should be about 12-14 months old and receptive/ready to breed.

As far as when she is ready that is basically how you can tell..

Also the female shouldn't be trying to hiss/bite the male she will be willing to mate with him. but keep a close eye on them for when she knows that she is done she will show her gravid coloration and get upset and try to bite him, or puff up.

Just curious, where have you read this? My female is about 13 months old and hasn't laid an infertile clutch yet and I was under the impression that you can breed without them even laying a clutch before. I have read though that if it's their first clutch and they have been bred, then that clutch of eggs may still be infertile if it's their first.

But yes the female should be over a year and atleast 50 grams and higher. You also want to make sure before breeding that you have a fecal done for both chams. Don't want any parasites being passed between them.

Sorry to offend you if I did? But I should have put that they should at least have an infertile clutch before they breed, that way you know how they might lay and what to kind of expect when they lay.

Yes I do have the supplies and money...just want to make sure I breed them right, new to doing so and would love to get into breeding!! Also my female has been showing gravid coloration and I think I can feel eggs inside of her but she hasnt laid any yet! She has everything she needs to lay them! Also...my questioning was to make sure how long I need to wait if she is gravid now(getting ready to lay some eggs and not sure if she his fertile or unfertile do to the previous owners not knowing if they bred or not).

Well, if she is carrying eggs, you might want to wait until after she deposits those ones and until she shows receptive colors again. I don't know if you will get anything out of her and if she is gravid she will refuse the male.

Do you know any sort of age on her?

Lol no offense taken I was just seeing if there was something new I can learn!
