Meet Louie, a Panther Ambilobe. He's about 18 months old, and a real grumpy guy.
About two months ago, he fell ill. He lost his appetite, was sluggish and just dull and dark. I took him to two vets, and the second turned out to be a very experienced reptile vet at a large zoo. At any rate, his illness was baffling, and he went on antibiotics. I rearranged his cage location and now he gets much more sun. After a week or two, his appetite came roaring back, and he is ravenous much of the time--thankfully! I am so thrilled he is recovering!
But the baffling thing to me, being a new cham owner, is the drastic color change he's gone through. He used to be blue/green with some orange, but from this....
...to this!! If anyone can offer an explanation, I'd be very interested to know why this has happened, if it's permanent or temporary, etc. Thanks!
