temp question

[ayiaskepi]

My cham has not pooped in three days and rarely eats. Every other day he will chomp some supers if I give them, but he is refusing crix. Also, I was wondering what is the coldest night time temp that a panther can withstand without risking sickness. I need to move him inside as the nights are slowly getting cooler here, but I wan to know how much time I have. I need to find some kind of stand to put the cage on that can hold all my misting stuff, etc. The wood one I have now is being destroyed by the water which is dripping on to it. I need to get something before I move him ir, but I obviously do not want him to get sick.

THANKS

65F is the lowest i would go, make sure to provide a heat lamp in the morning if temps get that low, or even a little bit lower.

also, if you want to do something about the water, build a drainage system.

if he's not feeling all that great I'd keep his temps a bit warmer and make sure he warms up to high 80's at least in the day time.

I wouldn't worry about him not eating and pooping.
If he doesn't eat, then I find it unlikely that he will poop.
I had a male veiled that went about 6 months only eating 2-4 superworms per week.
I was lucky if he pooped once a month!
I've had my veileds outside in the low 40's at night.
Panther are likely the same. I'd say 50 to be on the safe side.
Just allow them to wake up in the morning and have a place to bask and warm up in natural sun.
