I took our 10 month old male panther for his first check up earlier this week and I have to say although the vet was very nice I didn't feel that he was really knowledgeable. I really only wanted reassurance that he looked healthy and that I've been doing everything right. My concerns came from...

Hello, my poor umbrella tree plant is not doing so well in our enclosure. I'm looking to order a weeping fig as I can't seem to find one around here. Are they anymore hardy? Thanks!

We got Louie from an expo in Jan. I'm not really good with a camera these are a few over the last few months. Any locale guesses would be fun, I'm guessing he's a mix...

What are your thoughts on moths? I occasionally get small moths in the house and have been tempted to toss them in.

I've had a rain dome now for a while and love it. So nice to see him happy and not worry about how often I have time to mist him. It's set now for 3 x a day for 2 min. I had a problem with the large plant I had it over flooding so had to move it in between 2 plants so some leaves still get...

Hello, I've noticed recently my panther cham with his mouth partially open at sometimes, not a lot and not like he would have it open in anger. Normal coloration and not all puffed up like he's ticked off. Usually as soon as he sees me he just closes it and comes over to investigate and/or come...

So, I called the local reptile vet to touch base and of course they want me to make an appointment to meet them. I can understand wanting to see our cham and get a baseline on his overall health. Do any of you go to annual check ups or only on an as needed basis? Also, how do you transport...

Hello, I finally got some hornworms and thankfully my guy likes them. My question is do you get live or eggs? I'm mostly thinking of the overall cost. I'm also wondering what it's like to deal with the eggs? Thanks!

I've got another rookie question! We've been dusting the crickets all along, but have been trying some other feeders like phoenix worms. If they are a naturally high in calcium food like phoenix or hornworms do you guys dust them too? I haven't up to this point, but we are just trying out new...

We just changed to a larger enclosure (34 W x 40 H). Been using a 15W, 5.0, 18 in UVB bulb. I don't plan on getting a larger light as I'll need room on top for the rain dome I hope to get. I did just get a 15W, 10.0 figuring it would have better penetration in a larger cage. Thoughts?

I was just curious what everyone else has used and liked. We currently mist by hand, since we got our guy his big boy cage I am looking into a nice timed system. The rain dome looks pretty cool and also looks like there would be less overspray. We tried the Repti Rain in his smaller cage, but it...

Hello, we just put our 7 month old panther into his big boy cage. ( 34w x 40h ) Just wondering if it's normal to have a decreased appetite during the adjustment time? He doesn't seem to be eating much, but it has only been 2 days. May also change to a 10.0 UVB bulb with the larger cage size...

Anyone else have the Panther Palace from Kammerflage Kreations? I just got mine yesterday. All set up, however the front door is just slightly off, maybe not a big deal but little crickets may find their way out. I may just go to the hardware store and find a small latch. Just curious if anyone...

Well, this is 2 questions in 1. Any thoughts on Phoenix worms? I can only get crickets, mealworms and phoenix worms locally. I am looking into getting silkworms online, but would rather find things I can get locally. ( To support local business, also save on shipping) ( and I just can't get...

I see a lot of threads about dusting, and I'm sorry I'm asking more.... When we got our pygmy and carpet chams. the pet store we got them from had us use Repashy calcium plus and told me to use lightly every day. Also use Fluker's High calcium cricket food. I had been using the Fluker's...

Hello, as we are setting up a bigger enclosure, I was just reading an article that suggested lining the inside of the screen walls with plastic netting to reduce the chance of toes/nail getting caught and injured. Just wondering what you guys thought? (sorry so many questions since joining...

My 7 month old panther has had a decrease in his appetite, when we got him 2months ago he was an eating machine, about 10 crickets a day and occasional meal worms for treats. He is only eating a few a day now, he will still take meal worms from me however. As I posted in another thread...

Hello, we have a approx 7 month old panther cham. He's in a 18x 18 x 24 enclosure right now and we knew we would need to get something bigger soon. My question is, about when are they usually ready? He seems to be wanting to be out climbing on us, so I figure it might be time. Thanks!
