I have a female panther which is around 3-4 months old if I was given the correct info upon purchase.
The past couple of days she has been restless, sort of scouting her cage whilst in blackish/purpleish colours. However she doesnt stay this colour all the time and will after a while turn back to her resting colours of peach and pink. My question is, if gravid will they stay in their darker colours until they have layed? Or shall they change back and forth?
Her basking temp is between 81 and 84 depending on how hot it is in my house, I do have the bulb on a dimmer so shall adjust as necessary, ambient is in the range between 73 and 80 depending on where im taking the reading. Humidity fluctuates between 56 and 70 and I cant remember the size of tank but its an exo terra glass tank, looks about 3x2x2 foot but cant be sure as my measuring tape is at work. She has been getting fed around 30ish 3rd size crickets daily along with some small roaches, meal worms, wax worms on occasion until last week where I changed over to 4 or 5 medium/small locusts daily with the odd treat here and there. Dusting with calcium daily and calci with d3 every 2 weeks.
