My poor veiled female fell to the bottom of her cage yesterday(which she's done from time to time) but today I have noticed that she's leaning really bad to one side, especially her head. She doesn't straighten out when I hold her but she still has a really strong grip. She just managed to eat a...

I have a bit of a dilemma. My female veiled is digging in her plant (8" deep pot). I have placed a laying bin with wet sand, but she will not go to it, just keeps digging in the plant. Is this deep enough to deposit eggs? I don't want to disrupt or disturb her!

My one year old veiled has unfertilized eggs in her, I can feel them but they are not visible. I first noticed them over 2 months ago, set up a laying bin and she still hasn't used it. She is no longer restless and pacing, seems to be feeling well and it eating good. I'm concerned that she will...

Yes, she has been showing the receptive colors, and I have been checking every other days for lumps in her belly, nothing there yet. She also isn't spending any time at the bottom of the cage, so maybe she is just needing a larger one. I ordered a 3 ft high by 18" cage so she should like it:) I...

I have a 10 mo old female veiled, and I am assuming she is reaching maturity and looking for a male. I just want to confirm this because her behavior as of late is quite annoying and I would like to know how long it lasts! She has, for 2 weeks now, been clawing at and climbing around the screen...

Your blog is exactly where I got my info from;) I will continue to do this then. She gets a small mealworms as a treat every day, about 4-5 crickets/4-5 baby stick bugs every other. Is there any harm in putting her in an outside cage in hot days in summer? I probably won't do it every day.

I read somewhere that if a female veiled is kept at a lower temperature(basking about 85), and given a more restricted diet, that it will likely not lay eggs and will live longer. Any thoughts on this? We do not plan on breeding her and would like to help her live the longest, healthiest life...

I took the pail out, but I noticed she was acting restless again and walking around on the bottom of the cage, so I put it back in. I have now been watching her continuously eat sand for the past 1/2 hour! I'm really at odds here. I am using just plain playsand, and there are no bugs in it. I...

My female veiled has been spending more time at the bottom of her cage lately. I put my bucket of wet sand in her cage in case she has unfertilized eggs and all she does is eat the sand. Any tips? Is this going to hurt her?

One more picture

Second try.

Not sure if I did this right but I tried to attach a pic. She got a bit mad when I took it, and the pic went sideways for some reason.:(

I have a 5 month old female veiled and today she seems very restless. She has been climbing on the screen, hanging from the top and doing skydives into her ficus, crawling on the bottom, and sitting with her mouth open a bit. She has been drinking water and eating well. We did move her cage to...
