shower?
Why do you want to shower them? I purchased a power mister and he gets a shower twice a day in his cage. He loves it! I always use distilled water.
Lovin' the sushine
I don't shower my Panther, but I do have a Ficus tree I have outside which I put him in every weekend for an hour or so depending on weather,and my free time. He loves hanging out there in the sun. Turns powder blue. I think its like a day at the beach for him. He is not...
Shedding
My Panther sheds in about one day maybe slightly longer for the tight spots on him. The first time was the day after he was out in the sun for an hr or so. The second time was shortly after his day of sunning. I have a panther and I bring them outside on weekends for about an hr...
temps
I have read at night down in the lower 60's. I am not sure. I keep my room at 70 at night. I have a Bearded dragon and they say 68 for him. I think a 15 degree drop from day to night is good.
Power Mister
I have a power mister. I enjoy blasting him with it. He climbs out on a limb and stands on his back legs and loves it. When he starts licking his lips I time the shots when he opens his mouth. Some times I put it on stream and shoot it in his mouth. When he has had enough he climbs...
Drinking
I think its great if they drink from the dish. As long as you use distilled water and keep it fresh. All that dripping and clean up is more work. Try keeping it out of the drop zone and see if he still drinks.
Crickets
I buy 1000 1/2 inch, I have one 10 month Panther and one Bearded Dragon. I recommend getting two plastic totes so you can move them from one to another when you clean the box, they stink. I also use water crystals. I feed them Bug Burger all the time, and mix in various greens, flukers...
Melvin
I have an Ambanja. He is very colorful. Blues, greens,white striped with red bars, he also and has a bit of yellow in him. He is 10 months old and keeps looking better all the time. When I take him out for his sun bath he is powder blue.. He has also become very friendly, likes to be...
Vitamins
I have heard many things. I spoke to FL Chams. I have a 10 month old Panther and he told me: Calcium w/d3 3- times a week. calcium without/D3- 3 times a week. Reptivite -1 time a week. All I know is my Panther is healthy and happy so far. He eats good, looks great, hunts all day and...
Squirt
Same thing happens to me. When I was a kid the frogs use to piss on me until I learned to point it at my friend first!I am sure its along the same line of defense!
Is it that dangerous to give my Panther a smaller Super worm once a week. He loves them and I have been giving him one every now and than for months now and he never seem to have a problem. I want to mix up his diet. He is about ten months old and has put on some size since I have adopted him...
Thermometer.
Yes it is on my list. It seems like every time I go for an improvement I get something I didnt plan on . I wanted to get what I thought was a heat gun. The guy just pointed it at the spot in the cage and it registered. I think it was a little pricy but I was impressed.
Freebe!
Maybe he was not wild and someone has lost him. You may be saving his life it gets pretty cold in the winters in FL. I just met a guy in the Winn Dixe who's Iguana escaped and he lost him in the trees. His chance for survival were probably better in a cage. Free hot and a cot!
