Yeah all, it's been a long while since I have been on here, and I am sad to say I have returned with a heavy heart. I apologize if this should be in the health clinic threads, but I came home from work today to discover my Nosy Be female lying dead on the bottom of her cage. I was devastated and...

Okay, I have been keeping Chams for about 2 years now and I definitely do not consider myself a veteran on breeding / clutch laying etc. But is normal for a female Panther to lay 4 clutches of eggs in a 6 months period?! My 2 year old Nosy Be has done just that, again I don't know if that out of...

My male Nosy Be Panther is about 1 year and 10 months old. He was eating every other day about 4 crickets, but over the past month he has slowly tapered down on his feeding. I haven't been able to get him to eat a cricket in probably 2 weeks, but he has been taking butterworms now and again. He...

Hi all, it's been awhile since I have been on here. My female Nosy Be Panther is coming up on 2 years old and she laid her first clutch of 38 eggs about 6 weeks ago. Though I was freaked out she did awesome. For the next week her black, gravid colors waned and she turned back to normal...

okay I am reading a lot of studies on preformed vitamin A in the Cham world. And everything I read is making me uneasy. I was always told to stay away from preformed vitamin A because of the extreme health consequences. But now I hear that keepers give their Chams preformed A occasionally. I...

I have a 1 year old male Nosy Be Panther that started developing an eye problem about 2 weeks ago. It started with him waking up and his right eye would be sealed shut from a clear liquid. I got some sterile eye wash and have been cleaning his eye every day for the last 14 days. Some days he...

I have a 1 year old Nosy Be male panther and he has been getting some eye build up as of late. About 3 days I went to feed him in the morning and his right eye was sealed shut. I took him out and used some warm water and a q-tip and he opened it right up. He has been fine the past few days but...

Okay after a few months of false alarms I am 99% sure my Panther Female is now pregnant. She had weighed a constant 84g for 3 months and over the last 2 weeks she has gained 5g!! That was on Tuesday of this week. I just weighed her today and she gained another 2g So I think she is definitely...

I have a 8.5 month old Nosy Be Male Panther, and he has developed a swollen area around the front part of his left eye. It's been like this for about 3 days now. Strangely it does not seem to be bothering him at all. He is active, eating, drinking, his poo looks great, and he is not scratching...

Okay so my Female Panther Cham is about to turn 1 year old and she has yet to be gravid / lay eggs. I honestly don't want her to because I have no plans on breeding her, but I was just curious if anyone has heard of Females who never lay? I have been weighing her religiously for the past 2...

Okay so my female Panther is about 1 year old now and her eating has been tapering off the past few months. I know this is normal because she is reaching adulthood. She seems to only eat about 1-2 crickets a day, which I have had several other Cham owners tell me that there adults eat about that...

A few days ago I posted up an emergency thread about my 7 month old Male Panther ingesting a rock. I had smaller polished rocks in his aboricola pot when he was a baby and planned on putting bigger ones in there after he reached a certain size. Well about 4 days ago I walked in and saw him grab...

Okay so this morning I walk in to my spare bedroom, look at my 7 month old Panther Cham and he is gnawing on a rock from the plant pot that's in his cage. I freak out and reach in there only to have him swallow the thing right down. It looked to be about 3/8 inch rock. I am stupid for leaving...

Hello all, I have a 6 month old Male Panther and I have him in a 18X36X36 cage for now. I know, as a male, he is going to need a bigger cage than my female. At what age do you think I should transition him to a larger enclosure and what size do you think is good? I was thinking about a 24X24X48...

Okay guys and gals, I have been keeping Chams for about 8 months now. I typically just use warm water and mild anti-bacterial soap to clean the cage bottom and any other parts that need it. I see they have reptile cage cleaner at the petstores? I'd kinda like to have something just in a bottle...

Hey everyone. My 8.5 month old Nosy Be Female seems to not be pooping. LOL! Of course I know this can be a serious health issue. Typically she will poop once a day, and in the same place usually. I have not seen any poop for about 3 days now. Now she may be going somewhere else that I am just...

Okay, so my Female Panther Nosy Be is about 9 months old now. About 14 days ago she went from eating about 10-12 crickets a day to eating only 3-5 a day. Today she has only eaten one. In the past week she had went from being pretty active, to laying around in about 1-2 spots in the enclosure and...

Okay my 8.5 month old female panther has 2 missing toenails. They are on her right front foot, on the two toed side of that foot. Both are gone! Not sure how it happened, she does like trying to climb on her screen and is getting to big for that, perhaps they yanked out then? Will they grow...

Hello everyone, my Nosy Be female is about 8.5 months old now and she showed receptive colors about a month and half ago. She has always been a healthy eater but the past few days she has tapered from eating about 10 to 5-6 crickets per day. And now, today, she seems to have no interest in any...

Okay so I just ordered up 500 1/4 inch crickets from my normal supplier. Have had no issues in the past with my crickets from them. My concern is I've had the 1/4 crickets for about 4 days and all of the sudden about 60-80 crickets just died off or are in the process of dieing as we speak. And...
