I would cool that basking spot down just a little, maybe move it another inch or two away. Just to be on the safe side. Since she is so thin, she could dehydrate easily if she stays in that spot so much. I would try to get her to eat as much as you can, at least until she fattens up some and if...
How big is she? Its hard to tell from the pics. I think you might want to cool down that basking temp if she's very small. The lights are off now aren't they? If its dark outside it should be dark in her cage.
contagious
Funny, I noticed that happen just the other day... I was feeding Ember her phoenix worms and my boyfriend yawned, then Ember yawned, and I looked across the room as Emit yawned, too. :eek:
Panthers don't typically EAT leaves, however, they do sometimes chew on one for a minute or two when catching prey or drinking. I've seen it happen quite a few times, as mine aren't particularly shy about eating or drinking in front of me.
I'm not sure that free-ranging a gecko would be a good idea for someone who has a ferret sleeping on his shoulder in his avatar pic...unless the ferret is no longer in the picture, then by all means :)
I've definately noticed that my male panther dislikes orange and red, but also black, at least in large quantities. He hates my boyfriend's black hat. He attacks my Blackberry, which is black, but is just fine with my silver camera. He doesn't seem to mind white, green, blue, tan or brown.
Hating that I gained over 70 pounds from quiting smoking...and other such agreements
I also recently quit smoking in October, there with ya, buddy. OK, so not quite 70lbs, but I feel your pain! :p
Laughed so hard at that. (2.5yrs clean.) Thanks for sharing, man, keep coming back ;) :D
I have found that if I wait until mine climb onto the door of their cage, then open it and offer a hand to climb onto, they are more likely to climb onto that hand without getting too upset about it. It usually only works while they're pretty young, but once they get used to the idea of you...
I have to say, while I don't think men can really ever have any idea whether they would or wouldn't do natural childbirth... I'll allow them an opinion :rolleyes:
Personally though, I've had a C-section with my first because he was breech, and I NEVER EVER EVER want to feel pain like that EVER...
bus babies
That bugs me too, probably not for the same reason, though...
When you have a baby (or child up to a certain age/weight) in the car, they have to be in a safety seat, properly strapped in or you'll be given a ticket and a fine... but you can take a 3 day old baby on the city bus...
