Hi everyone,
I got myself a Panther on Saturday! Super excited about it! I'm at work just counting the minutes left before I can get home and look at him again!
I have been told about all the various lighting and heating etc, but I want to keep my little guy outside, where he can get natural UV. I have him in a small-ish flexarium for now, he's only 4 months old. I have already bought a 100 gallon flexi and put a beautiful ficus inside which fills most of the space already.
Is it enough for him to be outside during the day? Enough heat and UV rays? I will buy the UVB light and the heat bulb for colder days, and i'll bring him inside in winter.
Also, another thing, is that I feel it's better to keep him in the smaller enclosure for now, and move him into the bigger one when he grows a bit more, but i've been told it doesn't matter and I should put him in the bigger enclosure where he has more space to regulate his temperature etc.
What do you think?
