Canadian panthers
Hello Sphynx. What province are you in? I have only been in the cham scene for a short while (although herping for 25 years) and already have made some valuable contacts,albeit more like friendships, of a handfull of breeders.
In my opinion they are very dedicated and...
lucky!!
Looking at the foliage in the background, i presume you have a much easier time with outside exposure than us folks in the great white north!!! Jealous.
All of the time,effort,care,$ and attitude payed off again as my hard working,(now resting and drinking) gal layed her second clutch for me. I had put together the same nesting box as last time,which was a crisper drawer from a fridge with moist organic soil. She dug two tunnels in one day but...
egg laying
If she is finished laying, she will cover the nesting "cave", and go about her business as if nothing happened! This is the time for lots of rehydration and some silkies as treats!!
Hello y'all. I am about to make a few DIY condos for my cham zoo and was wondering about some materials. Does anyone have any knowledge on the safety of using western red cedar? Its a bit pricey but looks beautiful!!! Also is the pet screen material as dark as it looks in a roll? Can it...
generally any 'name brand' organic soil ,ideally without perlite or vermiculite. Reason for this is,our chams (especially veileds) like to eat the soil sometimes and those two elements can cause an impacment (sp.?). Also you should rinse the leaves, roots and pot in antibacterial soap!!!
Only six months
Congrats,hope the rest are nice and healthy!!! My understanding was that panther eggs took from 10 to 12 months to mature. Do you know something i dont or are you extremely lucky?
Are those mercury vapour bulbs on top of those cages?If so what wattage. I f not ,what are they??? LOve the humidifier action you have going on!!I am in the middle of doing that myself.. thanx
i do not believe that a 40w and 75w basking light would benefit the plants. The plants are what we are talking about,arent they??? Plant greatly benefit from UVB, especially flowering varieties. Is this not the artificial light source aiding in photosythesis?
adding a zoo med 2.0 reptisun will greatly improve overall light and photosynthesis in your plants. a good idea if they are not getting enough light is to raise them with a stand or upside down planter. This also allows for some air exchange down below.
Thanx for your honesty steven. sounds like you would do a much better job now!! What did you mean by "feeding her too much". is there something i should know as a proud father of a 13 month old gravid lady? Any advice(especially about longevity)would be greatly appreciated.
OH btw, she has...
Howdy y'all. i was wondering if there could be too much light(uvb) on a gravid panther. In a 30"x18x30 screen "condo" i placed a 100 watt m.v. It is 14" away from her favourite basking area. I leave the repti 5.0 on her all day as well. She travels around the perimeter of where she used to...
