Hello again. Not sure whether I should post this as a new question or not but all of the previous info is here. I am wondering how long I should wait to expect changes in my little guy now that he is in a bigger enclosure. He is finding his food well now and poops look good. He is happy and...

Awe, what a sweet girl. I love this.

Hi again! I feel like I am really digging in right now and I appreciate all of your help! Questions about UVB. I have a 24" zoomed fixture on my (2x2x4) screen cage with reptisun bulbs but the more reading I do the more it seems you all prefer Arcadia. Here are my questions. 1. Can I just...

Wow! Beautiful guy!

Yes and no. This clinic is 2 hours away for me, so a little far, but not crazy in a pinch. That said, they have not been very helpful. My cham did a small amount of mouth breathing in the last few days and then my vet in Green Bay asked them to look over his case and they declared him a...

Thanks. This info helps. Seeing the limitations of the vet care I am able to get is a little unnerving, but I am slowly figuring him out.

Thanks. Lights are good and I am gutloading and swapping out any bugs he doesn't eat so he always has fresh gutloaded bugs, I was just wondering if there were specific foods the bugs liked that might help turn this issue around faster for him. I don't want to cause him trouble for sure! Just...

Hi. I am having a problem with my 6 month panther's eyes. He eats silkworms regularly. I am researching here and it seems the likely cause of his blinking, eye closing and rubbing is a vitamin a deficiency, but are you suggesting that silkworms are a good source of vitamin A? Is it possible...

Not at all! Thanks again!

Thanks for helping! I posted a few pics if you want to check them out.

I thought that too for a while and we left him for two weeks aside from one or two weight checks and it didn't change anything with the eyes or help him grow at an accelerated rate. I hope the big cage helps. I let him go in there for an hour or two this afternoon for the first time and when...

First the vet flushed his eyes then suggested that maybe it would fix itself with the next shed. It didn't. Cage temp at night is about 70ish. I would have to put ice packs on it to lower it further. He is too small for bloodwork at this time. Nobody is willing to try it due to his size.

It's a fogger. I have a mister also, but it spits everywhere and makes puddles. I am not a fan. I have changed the settings already. I am in the Appleton Area in Wisconsin. I have taken my last cham to All Creatures Animal Hospital and this one I have been taking to Gentle Vet in Green Bay...

So my panther is having the same sort of problem. Rubbing his eyes on things and keeping them closed a lot and it has been getting worse over time. I posted some of his other potential issues on another thread (I think mostly that the vets don't know as much as I need them to), but it was...

Ok, so after all of your comments and helpful questions I am thinking about this another way. Perhaps our vet isn't as aware of the natural state of our little guy as I had hoped (yellow mouth for a start). They are the best game in town though, and I already drive 45 minutes to see them, so I...

The initial RI was super clear. He was really struggling, we could see his body heaving when he was breathing and he couldn't breathe with his mouth closed much at all no matter where he was, in his enclosure, under his light, etc... This time I am less sure. I am not sure about that, or the...

The vet said the yellow was in places of his mouth that would not be expected and she is very worried about his size. He is my first panther. I have had two veiled chams in the past, so the yellow mouth is new to me also. That is why I am asking! Thank you for helping. The little cage is...

I know he is small. I have been worried the whole time! We have no other pets and I believe his friendliness is a natural trait of his. He is my third cham and my first was super friendly, lived on my shoulder most of the time I was home and lived to be almost 8 years old. My second was a...

Mostly at night. It runs just a few short spurts during the day to spritz the leaves just in case we aren't home, but it mostly runs at night.

Thank you for these. Here is a terrible picture of his mouth. It was hard to get even this. He has never shown any aggression, and so he doesn't open his mouth willingly. Well, hopefully it was worth something!
