Ave weight of adult male panther chams

[chitown12342000]

I was just wondering what the ave weight of an adult male panther cham is? Mine is 13mo old and weighs about 80grams.

My panther is 6.5 months old and last week he weighted 121 grams.

These two older threads should be helpful.

idk anything about weighting chams but 80 grams sounds low for a 13 month old cham.

I just took my 3 year old male ambanja to the vet on Monday and he weighed 148 grams.

Where do you guys get a scale that measures in grams?

You can do a search at walmart.com. Most food digital gram scales work great.

eBay has some good deals if you don't feel like going to WalMart.

Howdy,

Here's a few more examples:

These scales go on sale all the time for 30-50% off . I own several models from different suppliers (to play around with). I've paid anywhere from $10 to $35 for different ones with different ranges. If you are going to weigh hatchlings, you'll want 0.1 gram resolution with at least a 100 gram capability. Weighing adults needs a 500 gram or more range with 1 gram of resolution. Don't forget to take into account the weight of the branch and/or container that the chameleon will be weighed with.

Today was weighting day so Arnold, male ambilobe, 3 1/2 years 242 grams

He doesn't look too bad to me. Are you worried about him being too skinny or not eating enough?

Thanks for the info! I love sales

Just alittle worried that he is too skinny cause he doesn't eat like he used to ever since he had the pinworm. He doesn't even look at crickets or silks anymore, just roaches and hornworms. He is very active through the day. Was reading some other threads about not eating that much and some people say they notice it around this age but I just wanted to make sure it wasn't the panacur I was giving him. I've also read that people give probiotics with the panacur to help out the gut flora, is this something I should be giving him? The vet ne'er said anything about it
