whats wrong with him ?

[arnau666]

ok so he regained appetite ! eye is back to normal!and he stopped eating dirt !
yesterday temps where to high and i change to the 60w bulb that i used before !everything was going well ,today he ate 2 adult dubias !
temps are 82-86 F at basking spot and 75-77 the rest of the cage !
he sometimes tries to climb the mesh to get near the basking bulb !
are temps to low ?
but now he just went again at the bottom of the cage and got really dark green colors and he is acting like he wants to escape the cage !
so this time temps are not to high for him !
i dont know why he is going at the bottom of the cage!
what else except the high temps can make them go to the bottom of the cage?

am i missing something ?
why is he acting like this ?

 

[arnau666]

can he be stressed ?
should i change the cracaena he has in his cage?
should i change the place of the cage?
i really dont know what to do this time !

The temps are fine, what breed? how old is he? And how big is the cage he's in?

 

[AngieL]

Are you sure he's actually not a female? Females roam to the bottom when they need to lay eggs.

 

[arnau666]

cage 25x25x65 inch,male vieled ,age 6 months. yes i am pretty sure he is male, has big casquest and bag leg spurs !

 

[Lala0]

The cage size Is fine so I would have to assume stress. My panther was V stressed for ages after I got him, I just let him have as much peace as possible and provide thick foliage for him to hide. After a while his confidence grew

Could I see a pic of the setup?

 

[arnau666]

i will post pics with his enclosure tomorrow !
and with him !
yap i guess its the stress !
when i open the cage he runs like crazy to me and wants to escape !

 

[arnau666]

PS: ne was never like this but he changed after his shed!
lack of appetite , hissed at me, and he didnt let me touch or get near him before ,after and while shedding !

When you take the pictures, please try to get multiple shots of the back feet. I know I saw what looked like a spur in one of your other pictures, but it was a weird angle. I have to suspect that there are females which have "mini-spurs" just as there are human women with enlarged clitoris's (big enough to beg the question: is that what I think it is???).

You might consider putting a laying bin in just to see what happens....it's a cheap thing to try.

I would up your basking temps to 91 degrees give or take a degree. But 86 as a max is a lil low. Him being 6 months old can handle big boy temps now

 

[arnau666]

yes but at 91 F he went very often to the bottom of the cage !

 

[arnau666]

here are pics with spurs and cage

 

[arnau666]

and here are pics with him after misting kinda dark color !
but he was still dark before i misted him !
so i dont know why he is so dark, maybe need more heat ?

 

[arnau666]

here they are!
and after i mist he just goes to the bottom of the cage-he does this very often

I have a panther male that every morning he goes to the floor of the cage. I figured out he is doing it because he wants to come out of his cage. He gets restless in there. If I open the cage door he will crawl on to me and I put him in the FR for a few minutes.

when I put him back he goes back and is content. I wonder if your guy is just restless??

yap he is acting like he wants to escape and he is very agitated ! as soon as i open the cage door he crawls on me or the 1st thing he can see and just runs/walks everywhere ! should i try a FR?

 

[Lala0]

You could try hanging a pothos plant with good foliage to give him something to hide in.

 

[laurie]

I would also add some plant coverage in his cage. He doesn't have a lot of places to hide.

 

[arnau666]

1st thing tomorrow morning i will add more plants !
