Sounds like a growth spurt. He could continue at this rate for a few more months and start to slow down around 160 grams, then level off to around 200 or more grams. At least that's more or less what mine did. He weighs about 220 now.

My panther Leo had this a couple years ago. My vet called it "bumble foot". I applied some vaseline to his feet (daily) and it went away. I'm sure that what you're doing is great too of course. Hope he gets better soon!

I don't think it's bad advice at all. I have a baby and handle him once a week when I take him out to weigh him. It's become my Saturday morning ritual. Like she says, the fact that he's eating from you hands already sounds like he's going to be nice friendly cham. I have a panther from Kammers...

Yep that's where I got him.

ha ha still adorable though!

Have you weighed him? I'm wondering how many grams he weighs?

It could be my imagination, but to me it is starting look like his casque is starting to form, more like an oustalets rather than a panther.

Congrats and great intro to the forum. Welcome!

Here's Ozzy, I also uploaded a few more on my other thread.

Are they larvae or pupae? I think the "spikes" are usually the larvae (maggots), but I saw on the mantisplace website that they were calling the spikes pupae. The pupae aren't supposed to be refrigerated longer than about a week I think or it starts to affect the survival rate. I'm not sure...

Somehow I think I'd be better off not knowing this @kinyonga !

I pretty much do not feed crickets at all. I have a dubia colony and get hornworms frequently. Also I keep superworms on hand. For my baby cham, he started on hydei fruitflies which he quickly out grew, so I've been feeding him about 10-15 house flies a day now. I also give him phoenix worms...

I have to say, I probably enjoyed the Harry Potter books and movies more than my kids! Besides that I tend to like all things Sci Fi and my favorite author is Frank Herbert, I've read all the Dune books. My other passions are playing darts and brewing beer. Oh and lately it's been fishing with...

He's looking great! It'll be interesting to see how big he gets yet.

Thanks @carol5208 ! The new site is good, but yeah it takes some getting used to. Not sure why it posts my pics multiple times when I only put it in once!

Here are a couple more pics from today:

@Craigwyatt Have you weighed your hybrids and are they similar size? Not that they would have to be since hatch dates vary. I'm just curious.

Mine is the green one I posted pics of in this thread, see above...
