I haven't been on here lately, but Hawkeye, my nosy be has been doing great. He has been growing like a weed and his colors have been developing nicely. Anyway, I just wanted to make sure he is the right size for his age. I just measured him to be about 9.5". He seems to have a healthy build...
I was picking up some crickets for Hawkeye today at my local petco when I was shocked to see this. (usually i get crickets at a more reputable store but it was out of the way) 5 chams of 3 different species together in one of those stupid glass cabinets. They had 1 adult/subadult jackson female...
I've I've always been a true blue nosy be fan but lately, I've developed a real liking for pink panthers. Unfortunately though, I haven't seen a lot of them on here. So if you have one, throw up some pics!
So my Nosy Be is just at about 5 months old now, and he's been eating well, however, he seems to like to gorge one day, and not eat the next. So what I'm wondering is if it is too early for me to start just feeding him every other day instead of every day. If not, then should I be limiting his...
Yep, the awesome product created by Tom Kilgour, who I'm sure will chime in. So, how do you use it? I have a Nosy Be so I use the original formula. Anyway, I dust with it weekly on top of using it on my gutload. I've tried it on various fruits and veggies and I've found that the crickets go nuts...
So I've had my new nosy be for 2 and a half weeks now, and he has grown a little bit, however, I noticed his neck is starting to look a little thicker and puffier than I remember. I notice that when he turns his head, a slight neck roll of skin pops out between his jaw and shoulder. Ive only had...
So I live in florida and usually, my house doesn't drop below 78 at night. Because its always warm here, my heater was not on, but last night, the outside temp dropped to around 60. And I think my chams ambient temps might have gone below 70. He's just a little 3 month old panther. Anyway, this...
I was looking at a box of random projects and stuff and i found an old "eyetoy" usb camera from my old PS2. So it gave me the idea to set up a webcam on my cham cage. So i installed the drivers on my computer and found a good program to run it. Now I can see whats my little guy is up to from my...
I recently got my nosy be, "Hawkeye," from kammers, he's 3 months old. He comes from a true blue line and his sire has no red and his mothers sire has a few tiny specks around his eyes. Here is a pic of the sire, "Elladan", and then the dame's sire, "Caranthir," and then my little guy. As you...
Does anybody know how nutritious adult BSF's are? I know the larvae are supposed to be very nutritious. Can they be used as a staple? Because my little cham absolutely LOVES them, at his age, they are the perfect size for him. If they are not a suitable staple, is there another flying feeder...
So I swung by the local Petco and petsmart, in the petco, I noticed some "Calci-Worms" so I looked in side and there was about 10 BSF's crawling out at me. So I got excited and bought a tub, brought it home, popped it in the fridge for two minutes to calm the flies. Threw 4 in the bottom of the...
I had my little guy out of his cage because I was cleaning it out, and I figured that while I had him out, I'd snap a quick pic of him to ask the breeder a question about the development of his coloration. When I put my iPhone up to him to take a pic, he puffed up, gaped, and his colors got...
I was just wondering what you guys thought about using an MV on a free range for a 3 month old panther? This would not be a 24/7 free range. This would me more of a "mini free range" in the corner of the living room that I'd just let him chill on when I'm home, and observe him on. Also, I would...
I was just curious to know where in your cage does your chams like to sleep? My little panther likes to sleep on this little cluster of branches, I like that he does this because this spot is particularly unlikely to have loose crickets wandering to it at night.
I was just wondering what dusting schedules you guys use for panthers and what you guys think about mine. Here is mine for my 3 month old Nosy Be:
Every Mon.-Tue.: Repashy SuperCal NoD
Every Wed.: Dinofuel (Original Formula)
Every Thurs.-Sat.: Repashy SuperCal NoD
1st & 3rd Sunday of the...
I noticed that when my new 3 month old nosy be sits under his UV light, he turns brownish, however, where his legs covers his abdomen, is a clearly defined spot of light bluish grey (one of his normal colors), where the shadow from his leg was. I was just wondering if this is normal, or possibly...
I just went in to check on my new 3 month old panther on his second day in his new home and I caught him dropping this. So I quickly scraped it off the leaf and here it is. Does it look healthy? The larger brown part seems really lightly colored and pasty, is that normal. Also, do you think it's...
I just got my 3 month old nosy be in the mail early yesterday morning. Yesterday, he was eating like a horse, he probably ate close to ten small crickets. He even zapped two straight from the tongs. This morning, I watched him lap up a little water after the aquazamp came on, but today, he seems...
