EVERYONE look at my Panther. I got a cam.

[gfisher2002]

This is Lucy ( a boy I think now). He is an Ambanja Panther. Sorry for the crappy pics, I suck with this thing. lol
Her cage has a 24" Reptisun 5.0 mounted vertically in the back corner, an exoterra fogger in a plant-filled tub, an automated rain system and a removable plexiglass waterproof tray in the bottom with a drain tube into a pail. And a 75 Watt Spot light.

Nice panther. I think you need to fix the focus on your camera though, is it digital?

Who did you FINALLY get your panther from?

[gfisher2002]

I've had Lucy for a few months now. I got her from Curtis at World of Pets (where I'm working for the winter). She is so friendly.lol She bes to be taken out and then will sit on my shoulder for hours. And she likes to lick my ear and play with my beard. lol

Garrett

P.S. It's digital. But you have to hold the button for a few seconds. And if you move, it screws it up. I know now.

[chamitch]

how come u mounted the light vertically.i know curtis does that. isnt that confusing for the animal?

[Dani33]

What a cutie! One of my dogs is named Lucy!

[gfisher2002]

Chamitch. It doesn't seem to confuse the animal. Also alot of the time when you mount them on top the animal is more than 10 or 12 inches from it which renders the light useless. A Reptisun 5.0 puts out 5% UVB at the surface of the bulb. The levels depleat as you move further from it to the point (12" or so) where there is no UVB to absorb. At work we lay the fixture in the back edge and the lizards even lay on them. It's better than having it too far away. Lucy loves to sit next to it. It's not like she thinks it's the sun. Just a light. You don't think they can tell the difference? I would say they can.

[chamitch]

hmm does make sense. but i just remember reading somwhere that they sense the fullspectrum as sun and as warmer or teh sun or somthing along those lines. also could perhaps cause problems with there eyes as far as catteracts. but i dunno just a thought. if it works then it works. just curious

beutiful cham though i wanted that one. haha

later :)

[chamitch]

oh and my digi sucks liek that too. try and use the flash and zoom and move farther away. when u use the flash it makes teh shutter speed faster and will take away that washyness i think.

later

[gfisher2002]

Thanks man!!

Garrett

[meow_mix450]

Ya it true, and when you take a pic, just hold it there even if you see the flash go;)
