It is sad. It is such a common problem and not many people seem to care too much. I'm glad you got him, and I am glad that the owner posted him for you to find.
Did the owner charge you for him?
I am using a 60w house bulb. It is about 3 inches from his bask....should I go up to a 75w?
Would the Flukers High Calcium cricket diet be a better GL?
I will have trouble keeping constant veggies and fruits for the crickets.
Any suggestions, friend?
I have heard that was a bad method. I got him from a LLL Reptile booth at a show, and the breeder said that it was best to grab them. I guess he was saying that since he didn't have to keep them ;)
Im going to go with the stick route tomorrow. Thx.
I have not taken mine outside yet. He gets nervous when I attempt to pick him up to take him outside. Any tips on getting him out? Should I just grab him?
By the way, your chams are beautiful.....

Thanks man. I actually have a bag of em down stairs. I am planning on building him a new cage this weekend, and I am going to put my new baby in his current cage after the show coming up next weekend.
I am going to deck that cage out.
I looked @ it just now and with the 60w bulb, it is 83F in his basking spot. The humidity is @ 16% and I have a humidifier blowing right in the cage?.?.?
Should I cover a few sides of the cage to keep the humidity up?
Why does he stay so dark?
Is it temp? humidity?
What is it?
I see all of these pictures of panther chams being so bright and vibrant. Chamilli stays dark green and black most of the time...he turns orange/red/pink/blue/lime on rare occasions.

I got him (as a baby) back in May from a reptile show in Raleigh.
