Baby Panther Cage question

[IronHulk]

I am picking up a 4 month old Panther this week, I have a setup ready to go for the little guy, it is 18x18x36 , Will that be to big for him ? Should I start him off in a smaller setup ?

no that will be fine. I started my 3 month old off in a 18 X 30 x 36 and he did fine. He was able to hunt crickets just fine in that size also.

Thanks, Never had a baby this young before and this is my first panther, I keep Jackson's .

I would probably make a cup feeder for it though, that will assure he eats. I don't know if you already have on so I just thought i would throw that in there. Good luck!

I would recommend that you make a cricket feeder using a plastic pint size
milk bottle (do YouTube search for "home made cricket feeder").

I had one for all my chams but my male jack preferes snagging his food directly off the vines and leaves, natural style

My Yemen cham loves his and will get inside it with only his tail visable
sticking out of it!!
He also gets in it to let me know he is hungry
