Just want to know if my Panther looks healthy

[Dragobert]

hey hey,

Already posted several pictures but I guess actual questions are better posted here.

My Panther is an Ambilobe and super handsome. Loves climbing around the whole terrarium and my hair.

He is about 1 year old and gets 4-8 insects (super worms, crickets, locusts, cockroaches) + calcium (+d3 every few days)

If it helps I'll fill out the starter formular later as I don't want to type that much on my phone.

How is the osb holding up in the enclosure? Did you seal it or anything?

And dang! That is one HANDSOME fella.

I sealed it with Epoxy and so far it shows no signs of damage.

He says thanks and wants to shake hands

I guess I never directly answered your question on the other thread. He has nice clean limbs with no outward signs of MBD. His eyes are clear and not sunken so he appears well hydrated. The base of his tail is full but not fat so he appears a healthy weight and hydration. I cannot see inside his mouth but if he has moist but not gooey mucous membranes without lesions that would be good also. I can't really see his vent but if it is clean and free of lesions that would be good to. He appears to be active judging by all the different locations and positions in your photos.

Happy chameleon owning.
PS. D3 is given every two weeks for panthers unless otherwise directed by a veterinarian. "Feeder insects should be lightly dusted with powdered supplement before being fed to your chameleon. Many keepers successfully use calcium (without D3 or phosphorus) at nearly every feeding, multivitamin once every 2 weeks, and calcium with D3 once every 2 weeks."

Wow I'm really happy he seems to be at good Health. I might have overused the D3 by your standard and will adjust the amount I'll give him.

I don't have a clean shot of his open mouth but it seems alright.

Also what is a vent?

Edit: found one of his mouth

All that said let me caution you, chameleons try to hide their illnesses to avoid predation and maximize their chances at reproduction. You will need to continue to observe him as time goes by to see changes in is behavior etc. that could indicate problems. It is impossible for anyone from pictures to evaluate his grip strength, tail curl or gait. I weigh mine on a regular basis to bester monitor their health.

I know you can't be certain but I'm just happy that there's no sign of something serious.

Thank you very much for your expertise

Did you see the picture I edited into my last post?
