Hi all, at the moment im trying to ween my 2 and a half year old panther off superworms. So how long can i leave my cham without food before it becomes a health risk? I've gone a week so far without feeding him and he still turns down locust, butterworms and most of his crickets. I tried him...

update As the days go on Ninja's tongue seems to be gaining abit more strength. I recieved an order of butterworms yesterday afternoon and thought i would see how he reacted to them, placed one on a branch and he got it first time and from around 7 inches away compared to the 3 inches and...

just an update, took Ninja to the vet today. He's weighing 210 grams, and apparently looking healthy apart from a slight swelling on his lip on his bottom jaw, on the inside of the mouth this tiny spot is darker in colour than the rest of his mouth so she's give me a 7 day course of 2.5%...

Just a quick extra on the feeder part, have you ever used butterworms? i stumbled across a U.K website that sells Silkworms when they have stock. Unfortunately they were sold out so i did some reading up on the butterworms they sell and they are supposed to have a good calcium to phosphorus...

Thanks for the advice Carlton, his uvb was replaced 2 weeks ago, before that it was done late january. I mainly gut load lettuce, carrot, apples and orange. I did used to do the method you just described by hanging a small tub from his branch, i did this from day one then at the same time as...

thanks for the quick reply, ive had him for around 15 months now and he was maybe 4-5 months old when i had him. he's still his same old character, theres no inflammation and he has no trouble closing his mouth completely, it just looks a bit strange thats all. the sooner i can get the pics up...

Hey everyone, just a quick little question here. everythings fine with my cham apart from maybe his mouth. ive noticed how panthers can have yellow mouths when they open up, my question is: is it posible for them to have say one half yellow and one half the usual pale pink colour? the reason...

:P thanks sandrachameleon, he saw the vet before i made the post and she didnt really do anything to be honest :( but its a good job its started to clear its self up. has anyone heard of low uvb output causing edema? the thing is i was using a reptiglo 5.0 tube nearing 7 months of usage and...

i feed him on monday, wednesday and friday with mainly crickets with a few superworms usually about 8 feeders. all of them are gutloaded with fresh greens. as for how much they are dusted with calcium you can hardly see it on them i dont like to go over the top with it just incase. silverdusk...

heres the pictures i dust his feeders with plain calcium every feeding and reptivite with d3 once every 2 weeks on about 5 of his feeders. he walks eats, seems to do everything fine just he has a habit of getting somewhere comfy and sitting there a couple of hours before his lights are due to...
