I was adding some sticks to his enclosure, so he was stressed out. He came over and wanted me to pick him up. So, I picked him up then he started doing a “dance”. He grabs my hand tightly and scoots himself around on my hand.(He’s done this a few times) Then when I look down I saw part of his...

Alright I’ll go see if I can find one

My veiled just ate a yellow/orange butterfly/moth. It was about the size of a wax moth. I couldn’t really get a good sight of it since as soon as it landed he caught it. Anyone of an idea of what is could have been and if it was poisonous. We are in Maryland

My veiled enjoys going outside. We even got him a big schefflera to hang out in occasionally. However i’m worried about the temperature. It about 80F ambient temperature. (It will start to go up to 90-100F in summer) The issue is in the sun my temp gun measures his basking area about 95-105F...

It’s most of his body and tail that still hasn't shed

He has been “shedding” for two weeks. He is a juvenile veiled and normally finishes within 2-3 days. Most of his face, casque, and feet finished, but that’s all. He isn’t scratching at it either. I’m not sure what to do and there are no vets anywhere near us. Humidity is usually 30-40%

This may just mean she is to lay soon. As long everything is normal she should be fine

What time is it? They be ready to sleep. Or you can try luring them out a little with a treat bug/food. Also, leave the basking bulb on the 12 hour schedule. Turning it off early may make them think it’s getting dark and it time for bed.

It’s better to just leave a lay bin in her enclosure. That way she can lay her eggs when she’s ready.

Shedding hat

I guess he made a friend with the black soilder fly

Here is him being angry next to a 6” tube. If you need more let me know

Temps around 80. Same with free roam. He was awake and walked back in.
