Good to hear he is drinking and hopefully he will eat a little. Sounds like turning the cage on its side worked out for the best in all situations! Given his size I don't think he will miss the height too much. Especially with the easier access to the lighting. Also good to hear youve...

I recieved a panther cham 3 months old from one of the most reputable breeders out there. He came with a small defect on the top of his casque. It was actually where a few of the scales on the top of the fat pads didn't meet up. Around 6 months of age this spot turned into a bumb much like...

As long as hes not going to be up for 20 hours straight I think it would be ok to let him go all night. But if it gets to be where hes not drinking, eating or basking, I would let him take a bit of a nap. See if he will take some crickets. If it comes to having to feed him with a dropper...

If he will take them I would offer him a few crickets. Just take off the wings, if present, and rear legs. Also try and find some nice fat juicy ones. Toss a slice of orange in there for like 20min, the crickets will pass the moisture to the cham. I know what you mean about the humidity...

What time is the appointment? Given that he is on a reverse schedule unless it is first thing in the morning, it will be like 2-3am to him. I would try and give him a short "day" tonight that way he is not all kinds of sleep deprived to add to things. The vomiting could be from parasites...

To be honest I don't know if montanes should be getting smaller doses. I would doubt it, given that it is two different functions that are involved. Generally the lower supplementation is to account for their low temperature lifestyles. IE the use up the supplements slower because they don't...

I kind of wanted to stay off this topic but since you asked. Baytril is a very powerful drug, devolped for mammals. It is very powerful, and works well to rid the bacteria, as long as its sensitive to it. However it is very powerful, and it has affected two chams of mine when treated with it...

In general they will brighten up when they are "excited". This can be anything from, seeing you, another cham, food, being sprayed, just to name a few. The dark coloration under the light is an attempt to warm up. Think black shirt on a summer day, they are doing the same thing. In...

If the problem is infection, they will give you some sort of antibiotic. Baytril and Fortaz are the common ones, they do go by other names as well. Baytril is oral or injected, and the fortaz is injection only. Personally I despise Baytril, I have had bad side effects with some chams on it...

The swelling is probably not parasite related. For the most part parasites are concentrated in the gut of animals, with a few exceptions. I have never witnessed a golden tip at the end of a urate. If the animal is dehydrated the urate usually appears to white faded into orange near the fecal...

Seems to have worked, Thanks a TON :).

I don't see too much swelling in the previous pics. The third pic, in the set of three, does seem to show a little bulge, but it looks fairly normal. Given the old picture I would say there is an increased swelling at the tail base.

Its kind of hard to tell from the picture, but it doesn't really look like a urate. If you let it dry out and try to crumble it, urates when dry turn to powder. Males do have a bulge. Usually its most pronounced from the side view. It will hang down at the base of their tail. The bulging...

Sorry to hear your little guy is having issues. First thing I noticed right off the bat was the swelling around the base of his tail. Looks like his hemipenes are inflamed for some reason. Is this something that has gotten worse or has he been like that since you got him? I would venture...

Thanks Ill give that a try.

Yea that double sided tape is nasty. If it took that off it would probably work in this situation. Do you have any idea what it was?

Two nights ago I was redividing some 1 - 1 1/2 month old panthers. I grabbed the first tree I had around, a ficus, for them to climb while I did my thing. Now Ive got one baby who has her arm stuck to her side. I think some sap got into her "armpit" on the front right leg, I cant see anything...

I use birch plywood, cedar, and ash. All were coated in a clear penetrating epoxy and 5 layers of helmsman polyurathane, common for boat hulls. Each coat was allowed to dry 2 days and sanded between. Not the cheapest route, but I have been really impressed with the results. Many people...
