[fabos]

well since on my other thread i couldnt get a good answer about my female panther being gravid or not i took her to the vet today for a little check up.. ever since my last cham dying i dont take chances anymore! well had a nice check up, She is GRavid!!! but they arent fertil eggs (maybe next time) but the weakness that i talked about the Vet believes to be a slight case of MBD . he sold me some over the conter Calicum drops that im supposed to drip on her lips and let her lick it off.. he said that in about a week or 2 i should notice that it is working...

also since she is gravid how long untill she lays? this would be her first clutch,

ill keep u updated..

How did the vet determine that it was a calcium problem? I can't remember if you ever mentioned it or not...but does she get sunlight or UVB from a light (that doesn't pass through glass or plastic)?

i wasnt the one that took the cham to the vet. my friend to her when he took his male for me, she gets UV from a 5.0 repti sun bulb! never any natural light unless it passes through my room window...
