Hi Phil
I think he should be off the fruit flies and onto small crickets by now. I have mine in an exo terra and I wipe the bottom clean at least twice a day,also remove any poop as soon as it appears, clean all around the rest of the viv every few days. I agree with the basking lamp advise, a...
Something is going badly wrong if they only last 4 days. Remember they need to be kept at high temperature, they need moisture as well as food and as previously said they require somewhere to hide like egg cartons they come in. I'm currently using gut load pro-formula as a food and drink...
I think they are all differrent, some will gladly accept being handled and some find it very distressing. At first my little panther was slightly distressed when I tried to coax him onto me, the only reason I did this was he was very distressed if I left him in his viv when I misted, so I tried...
I'll try to describe it as plain as I can,. As previouls said a Reptile poo consists of two part.

I use the T REX cham dust, but only one or twice maximum a week, all other days I use a pure calcium dust. This was the advice given to me by the breeder I got my young panther from, he seems extreamly healthy and growing well for it.
Good luck with him Phil, they cause a lot of worry when you first get one but well worth it in the end, had my little chap about 6 weeks now and I'm only now starting to relax with him lol.
