Picture Update

A few pictures to update my little guy!

I increased his heat light from 55w to 60w. He seems to be eating around 2-3 crickets in the morning now. His colors have also lightened from dark browns and blacks!! I think because it is now warmer. The basking tems runs in the 87-88 range. He is around 3 months, is this to hot? I have read 90 some places and 85 some places?!?!

Also any guesses on sex? Bought him as a male, but I think he may be a she!



Thanks Everyone! Let me know what ya think!

Very nice Cham!

The temperature might be a bit high, but I wouldn't worry.

It could go either way. I'm not very experienced. If it is a boy, he has a rather small hemi-penal bulge.

temp is ok?
any guess on sex?
looks ok otherwise??

Temp should be fine considering my cham has a bask going about 80-85.

My breeder told me 80-85 degrees for the basking spot... you seem pretty close. I think 90 might be a little hot

edit: whoops sorry... missed skullys last comment

That's a pretty thick tail base/first part of tail for a she but I don't really see anywhere for a bulge to go. If you get a closer up pic from the side of the tail area it will be alot easier for some of the people on here who are good at sexing to tell. I am not really one of those people but I always try. I still think it's a he. You may want to raise the light about and inch or so higher and the temps should be perfect for basking. Good luck. What locale is he?

EDIT: Nevermind I just read your signature. Where did you get him from should be my question instead of locale. Nosy Be X Ambilobes always look nice to me.

I got him from a breeder in N.H. at the reptile expo. I was not going to buy one at the show, but could not resist!!

Yeah, I think male too, but as you said no bulge! I bought him as a male, but they were a little unsure. I love it anyways.

I will try to watch the heat, 90 just seems to hot, but alot of care sheets all say 90?

Nice cham you got there. He is looking lovely

Oh and so just so you know...never go to an expo and say im not buying anything. I said that and when i went there i bought a TON of feeders, almost got a male veiled, and went home with a bearded pygmy chameleon

Is 90 to hot for a you panthers basking spot?

Is 90 to hot for a you panthers basking spot?

I personally think 90 is too hot.
I would get it between 80 - 85

 

[steviejcsc]

Would it be dangerous to keep the basking at 90? When I was using the 55w he was dark all of the time, now with a 60w he is lighter and more active.
