I think he was getting too hot. I have completely turned off the heat lamp. The one I had has a dimmer and it was very low but I underestimated how warm it gets in that aquarium. Seems fine with just the UVB flourecent. I do turn the heat lamp on in the morning to warm him up but turn it off...
Well yesterday evening I thought maybe he didn't like the feeding bowl and would prefer to hunt more. I put a bunch of crickets in so they would climb on the plants and within 15 minutes he spotted one on a plant and got it. It was getting late and afterwards he went to sleep. But maybe that's...

I may just be overly worried but here's the rundown on my problem. I bought a baby veiled about 2 weeks ago. He's about 2 months old. I have him for now in a 10 gallon aquarium with a screen top, UVB 5.0 and heat light (at about 90 degrees during the day), mist at least twice a day and I live in...
I live in the Heights but used to live in Old Town Katy, near where the mall is now. Went to Katy High School. I've got friends that still live off Fry Road. Man that area has changed. Let me know if you want the number of the breeder in Houston.
