Oops, forgot to tell you the dome is hanging from the outside of the cage and he is under a 100w sun glo daylight lamp in the new cage 24x24x48 and was under a 75w weird flukers bulb in his 18x18x18 cage before.. I'll put up more pics...

Thank you, Elizadolots! :) I'm just a tad bit obsessed with researching every aspect of cham owning to make sure everything is near perfect!
This morning he was very active and had his eyes open but I just caught him with his eyes closed again on a vine :( as soon as he heard me creeping up...
Hey all! Okay, so everyone I talk to thinks I am being a paranoid new mom to this little baby panther I have just gotten--I would like some input from you experienced hobbyists!
Here is some background on this new little dude (or dudette)... This kid I work with bought him at a Petland a few...
