back to food
I am finding that he likes mealworms and that they are much easier to feed him. At his current age, would 10 meal worms and 2 crickets be a sufficient diet, or is that lacking a proper gut load? Should I be loading meal worms?
just to clarify, that is the hottest I have ever seen the temp get. It is usually in the low 80's directly below the light within an inch or two of the screen.
Thanks for the help, they taught us in third grade that well thought out questions receive well thought out answers. Ill have to go...

I used wood. I would not use chemical treated woods. PVC Screen used for screen doors/porches, hinges, a latch, a waterproof base, a drainage system (base and drainage not pictured)..... thats what I used for:
temporary fix to drainage... icecream container
I just picked up a 1 gal jug and poked a small hole in it. It seems like it will drip for a long period of time. by the rate its going, Im guessing over 12 hrs.
I was worried about the cage size being to big for him too, but since he got here an hour ago, I have seen him eat at least 2 of the 7 flies I put in his cage so I think he will be ok as long as I feed him insects that stay at the top
edit: make that 4 of the flies. hes hungry from his journey!
haha There is a nice shrub in my "yard" at my apartment that I have been thinking about cannibalizing. I just thought about a great solution to my height problem... I have an empty pot that I can just turn upside down, simple solution and I don't have to steal a milk crate lol.
we have a meat...
yeah, I ordered a baby male veiled from tiki in vegas last night. he will be here tomorrow and Im really excited to get him.
Probably the most important thing that I read first during my research is to build your habitat before you get it and after continuing research and going and changing...
