Zach is there any chance your UVB lamp has expired? You may have an issue with D3 or a Vit A /D3 ratio issue. What brand of UVB are you using ? What brand of supplements and your regime are you exercising?
Try a white cup. A yougurt cup should be good, as long as the graphics on the outside aren't too flashy. The red of your present cup might be a stressor for the cham. Do not use a clear deli, as some chams will bruise their tongues on the sides.
One of my 2 gravid Werner's females just birthed babies this morning. I have them in with the mother and I added some fruit flies. I am maintaining cooler temps( i.e. 72F- 78F daytime and 70F night). I was surprised how the mother selectively chased down 1/2" crix I fed her. She clearly is not...
Did you switch feeders? I get this sometimes when feeding superworms after a long run of crickets . Looks like mucus. I'd be concerned if it continues for the next few stools , otherwise it could be feeder change or contaminated feeders that caused it.
If you can find a few other reptile owners near you , you could split a box of 1000 crix every 2 weeks. That should reduce your feeder cost significantly over a year. Or start your own feeder company in your area of town. If you can get 15 clients , you would be making a bit of money.

It feels like this topic goes round in circles.
I am confident that the research and experience of those such as Connie Dorval , Jim Flaherty and Dr. Fergusen bares out the fact that captive panthers have Vitamin A issues.
Sadly, the pioneers of our hobby figured this out a very long...
Clark: What supplements and what schedule are you using .
I wouldn't rule out the possibility of a Vit A issue here.
I experienced the same issues with the REpCal regime. It corrected after switching to Zoomed Reptivite. The major difference is beta carotene vs. Vit A.
I learned of...
This is a new feature. There should be drilled holes inside the frame for those brackets. They are probably for attaching vines inside the cage. I just got a cage like that a few weeks ago.
If the term NOSY is confusing you . It simply means island in the Malagasy tongue. Each of these Nosy locales are isolated populations of panthers found on islands off the coast of Madagascar.
Edgar, if you want to organize a group that mirrors your new website and business model, then that is great, but please distinguish the difference between a business and a non- profit community group.
This conflict of interest is the very reason why I didn't volunteer to put this together, as...
