My Nosy Be panther was just trying to eat a fly while getting some sun out in the back yard and when he caught the fly he pulled in a piece of Oregano. We don't use pesticide or fertilizers but I was wondering if that's bad?
My Nosy Be Male likes to kamakaze sometimes as well when I'm walking with him. The method I've used to get him to stop jumping was to allow him on my shirt(belly ot chest area) rather than my hand initially. I would sit and do HW, play video games or do whatever and allow him to climb all over...

If you do leave them together be sure to keep tabs on them as was mentioned. The female can become aggressive once she is gravid or the male can decide he has had enough and try to push her off a branch. My male tryed to push my female off the branch it looked to me before I seperated them.
If you weren't planning on eggs i would seperate them so you don't end up with way more than you can handle.
Youll need to prepare a laying bin with washed play sand or a safe organic soil. I would check out forum member Jannb she has made an amazing blog about laying bins and the egg laying...
Sandrachameleon has a blog that contains a huge list of different foods that can be used to gutload and the nutritional information for each. You might scroll through the list and see if there are any food items on the list that you have available in your home.
I've mixed up one of her dry...
This video is amazingly helpful!!! As I was waiting for my girl to lay her eggs I must have watched this video about 10 times!! Now she is all finished laying and i have eggs incubating! I would have probably had a heart attack if i didn't have this video to watch, not to mention the relaxing...
