you might have fruit flies...I do..they like the mist and water that collects in the cage..the fundamental solution is to clean the cage (and your house) as much as possible. but bandaid solutions--what i do--is putting cups of vinegar and soap in the places where they congregate. they jump in...
one of my panthers has this too, but worse. I posted here and no one knew what it was..i also emailed some pics to my vet and he thought it didn't look like a burn but possibly some kind of local irritation..he didn't know what to do about it; told me just to keep up good husbandry..it has...
it's not. it sprays a very fine mist. i mist alot--40 mins a day. so i built a drainage system..they're easy to build, or you can buy a drainage system for 30 dollars..it's just a tray that goes underneath the cage..you drill a hole in the tray so water can drip out into a bucket..i get no...
congrats! but you are not alone, I also have 3, and a ball python, and a saltwater aquarium (in that i have a maroon clownfish, humu humu trigger and a firefish..

I will check out these blog posts.
thanks

2 questions:
1) I want to start a dubia colony to feed my 3 male panthers. Anyone have a suggestion on how many and of what size? I was thinking 300 mixed, with a few extra large females and males, so 310 or so. Okay?
2) What should I feed them once I get them? The websites...
yes that is.
although a few thoughts on drilling glass since i do it all the time for aquariums..correct about tempered glass--it cannot be drilled. usually only the bottom pane is tempered so all the sides can be drilled. check first, though. second, diamond tipped drill bits are not easy...
you will need to upgrade to a bigger cage when he's an adult, minimum of 2x2x4. also, you should invest in a mistking system, they are great and relieve you of having to mist 5 times per day. as others said, more vines, no substrate. good luck!
mist king is basically a must, and it makes your life a whole lot easier..worth the investment. drainage system is also a must, too. you can get creative with this. there are several threads on this forum that discuss various ways to build simple and cheap systems to complex and more time...
