Hi, I just joined a few days ago, I been doing all the research possible, but I’m left with a few questions that I guess is more personal opinion based. I have only had dragons but I want a panther really badly. Got the fever lol for one.
1. Ok so from what I read it’s better to get a young one, but I see conflicting info about cages. If it’s young it should be in a cage not bigger then 30 inch in height because more then likely they won’t be able to find their food. But the recommendation size cage is the xl which is 48 inches in height. So buy two ?
2. Do I use the red night light ? I understand about the regular light to bask and heat purposes?
3. How long should I keep the cage all set up before I purchase a panther. To make sure the temps and humidity levels are good.
4. Also I been to about 6 pet stores here in the West Palm Beach area and the average cost of a panther is $350 now I found one pet store with baby nosy be for $150 am I being too cautious? But why such a cheap price?
5. Also do you guys take your panther to the vet to have it checked out or do you wait until there are any problems?
Any info is really appreciated I’m in no rush I just want Everything right perfect. Ty
