Panther often showing dark colours

[Bizzle90]

Here's a few shots of my Nosy Faly panther..He seems to show dark colours a lot of the time throughout the day.

Basking spot: 85-88 F
Amibent temps: 70F at bottom 75-88F at top
UVB: Reptisun 5.0

He is almost 4 months old, and just curious to see if he looks healthy and hopefully I'm going on the right track. I've had him for just about 2 weeks.

He is eating - not as much as he probably should though.

Healthy looking urates/poop - keep him well hydrated.

I can't tell, due to lack of experience..He has a couple white patches (very small) on his body, could be due to him being ready to shed. His head also seems a bit gray.

Tell me what you guys think!

looks like he's darkening to absorb more of the light rays... Thats all..

listen ive seen you post many threads of your concern over your panther, especially a rare and expensive one....i get that but

even as worried we might get....you should be calm to know that your cham looks fine if not great

just keep consistent with your feeding/watering/cleaning and every once in awhile check how he is physically, his poops, and tongue action, and eyes


if you find a problem dont panic, take pictures, ask the forums, maybe prepare a first-aid kit just in case if that makes you feel better.


All in all enjoy your cham and let him get comfty


these animals do make us worry though lol but its how we manage our worry with proper actions, and to be calm about it, and think clearly


goodluck and enjoy your cham

agreed with all posts above.

how far away is the basking branch from the light?
