I started my 2 week old panther in an 18x18x36 from LLL. Some would say its too big but I found it to be perfect. He is now 3months old, very strong and hearty. Good luck!

No, that should be fine. If you become concerned that he isn't eating as much as you'd like, try cup feeding him and then you can really keep an eye on his feeding.

Cages can never be too big! I started my baby of in 24" x 24" x 48". In the wild they have a lot more space to roam around in!

as long as theyre still finding their food its fine

20x30x16" is appropriate for a baby... although I think you want to use the 30 dimension for the height


For adults, the general agreed upon numbers by the community are (I believe):
Adult Male: 24"x24"x48"
Adult Female: 18"x18"x36"
