What ARE you doing?!

I looked in on Zippy this morning, only to see him with his mouth around the small twig of his ficus plant! Am I right in thinking that Carpets will chew on branches, etc, like Panthers do?

i have caught my veiled doing the same thing.
maybe a more experienced keeper will chime in.

I caught my panther this morning chewing on a bendable vine. He gave me that exact same look when I busted him.

Edit: by the way Tiff, Zippy is looking awesome! I love the new avatar

 

[Miss Lily]

Aww, thanks! He has grown loads since I got him! Haha! Its the "OMG! She's seen me!" look! Notice his eye sunken in a bit - he hates me and the camera! He's like a tiny green teenager - always moody and stroppy, lol!

Certainly looks like it, the funny little fellow

He has what we call the deer caught in the headlights look. Oh no, they see me. Since he is so adorable how could you ever be mad at him? You have a complete little prankster, might as well get ready.

"Maybe, if I stay reaaaally still, everyone will think I'm nothing but a leaf!"

I personally think he's practicing for a play that's coming up!

Love the look on his face, Didn't know they would bite stuff like that though...

Great looking picture!

 

[Robyrango]

He's cute! I didn't know panthers would chew on branches!!

 

[Rottsko]

that's awesome. perfect timing for the pic too. I've seen my babies chew on the exo terra vines I have in their cage. they also chew the mist king nozzles. pretty funny to watch.

 

[crocky]

He looks he is thinking...."yeah and so what". LOL

 

[SaintJimmy]

That is actually really adorable

Oh no! They found me! I know, I'll camouflage into a leaf!

 

[chamerina]

hahaha how adorable! it looks like he's saying "oh god, now she knows."
