The white part is the urine , but he is drinking quite a bit. Any ideas on why? Are the crix eating it? I have some poopy...

    supplementing

    Just curious if this sounds like to much calcium for a 2 year old veiled? Monday,Wednesday,Friday,Sunday - Calium without d3 Saturday - Calcium with d3. I also take him outside for about an hour or more at least 2x a week. Does this seem right for Irwin.

    urg plants

    I want to have lots of live plants in Irwans encolsure but everytime I get one it dies. I just bought an Ivy 2 weeks ago (and it was huge) and it is now dead. I also had a small pothos in there and that is dead too. The only thing I kept alive is a hibiscus (and it is very tiny, not even...

    Getting some rays

    Also should I be supplementing with d3 still? I plan to try to take him out almost everyday.

    Getting some rays

    hello. I decided I would take Irwan outside today. It was quite the adventure. He has been dark for quite a few days and all of a sudden his beutiful colors started to appear. The pics suck but u get the idea. How long can I keep him outside with me? Oh by the way, I am not sure if it is normal...

    where should the heat lamp be?

    How far from the nearest vine should Irwins heat lamp be? It has a 100 watt bulb in it now. I just don't want him to get burned. He is always a dark color with blue stripes, is this because he is not warm enough? He has a 5.0 and a 2.0 uvb bulb in there now. Is this ok for a veiled?

    black and puffed up

    hello. Irwin has been a dark color all day and he is black like he is ticked off. Why would this happen? It is extremely hot outside and inside today. Over 34 degrees. Should I have his heat lamp off? I am scared he will get too hot. He gets misted like once an hour. Any suggestions?
