He eats well. Although I almost never see him drink. I'm a little concerned about that. His urate is typically a little yellow. The only time I see a completely white urate is when he eats hornworms. I've tried giving him showers and he wants nothing to do with them. He also HATES being...

I'm concerned about my male veiled. He's coming up on a year old July 19th (ish) and I'm worried he's not growing enough. He's just shy of 100 grams. Is he a runt? Am I worrying? He eats well... about 10 crickets per day or 3-4 hornworms per day.

Thorium goes anywhere and everywhere in his cage. He has yet to develop a specific spot, and he's nearly a year old. No respect I tell you! :p

Thorium finally bit me today. He's about 11 months old and has recently gone through a move. We moved 1 mile down the road and he HATED it! I held him for the car ride because the cage had to go side-ways in the car (I thought that would be easier on him). I left him alone for 72 hours...

The screen is only about a degree hotter than the basking spot (I just checked it). He has lots of spots to go to. He frequently sleeps in the middle of the cage.

I've gotten several thermometers in there, and they all read the same. That was my original thought. I'll get it up to the high 80s and see how he reacts for the week.

Digital thermometer with a probe at his basking spot.

The basking lamp is about 6 inches above his cage. He does not have access to a free range. My apartment isn't cham safe at the moment, and we're moving soon. I'm hoping to get him a larger cage when we move.

Reptilover: I was told when I did have it at 90F that the temp was "WAY" too high, and that was why he got his original burn on his back. I'll up it another 5 degrees.

He was burned many months ago, but had a visit with the vet. The vet gave him baytril and silvadene. He's healed from that injury.

He has a tendency to purposefully rub his casque on the edges of the screen, as if he's trying to get out... He isn't always at the top of the cage either. He makes his "rounds" all over the cage every day. He circles his territory probably a dozen times.

The burn wasn't that bad. He wasn't acting in pain or lethargic really. The vet gave him a low dose of baytril although he didn't find any bacteria other than staphylococcus which are pretty typical. His grip is fine, and his attitude is just as spunky as ever. Could he not be hungry because...

Thor is a 6 month old male veiled. He had a burn about a month ago, and the vet has prescribed him baytril, meloxicam, and silvadene. Ever since he started the meds he hasn't been eating. It's been about five days. Should I be worrying?

It would seem that the little booger is quite smart. We had a small tub of waxworms sitting next to his cage. We gave him one this morning as a treat (trying to get him used to hand-feeding), and he's figured out that the tub is where is worms come from. As soon as I moved the tub away he...

Here's a picture of him about five minutes ago.

I'll try to post a picture soon. My phone isn't cooperating. The cage is 18x18x36. He's about 5 months and approximately 45 grams.

Thor (male veiled) has been climbing down to the bottom. I'm not sure how long he's been doing this. I saw him on Friday climbing down and exploring. I've never seen it before because I'm usually in the lab all day. However, I'm now noticing a trend. He's walking all the way down to the...

The basking light is just a 60 watt incandescent. The thermometer has a probe at the basking spot, and is set at the middle of the cage (off to the side).

Update: His new basking spot is about 6 inches from the top of the screen, and the heat lamp is about 2 inches above that. The temperature at the basking spot is currently 80*F. He has well over 20 highways and branches and lots of foliage to cover him throughout the enclosure, so he can...
