You have a really beautiful fella there. His colors are great and he looks healthy. When I had my Jacksons I couldn't get them to eat out of a dish, they preferred to hunt. Your fella may prefer to find the crickets in the cage rather then in a dish. Also, I don't believe they eat as much as...
If he is a little guy he will probably pop his skin quickly, no problem. It is the older ones that can take a long time to shed and often shed in parts. In the meantime, just give him extra squirts throughout the day.
I have 3 foggers and have linked them together for my panthers. Sometimes they sit under it while they bask and sometimes not. They also can reach up and lick up the drips from the fogger and it provides a little bit more of water for them.
I love them and may get another one for my veileds.
I breed veileds and this lady is loaded with eggs. They don't have to be fertile to have a bunch of eggs in her belly. I'm sure if you gently felt her belly you would feel eggs underneath her belly. She will lay them when she is ready. It is really hard to wait - I know, I have waited and waited...
I think that you should put more plants in your enclosure to catch the water. The water will stay on the leaves giving your animal more access to it and you won't need to overwater and have puddles in the bottom of the cage.
How long and how often do you spray? Can we see a pic of your cage...
Here is a good blog that JannB has for making a laying bin. If you check her other blogs you might find something about a container to put your eggs in.

I don't like the looks of them. They don't look normal and I would never own one. I have heard they don't live as long as regular veileds, but I don't know that as a fact.
I have a sweet fella also, that has never hissed, bit or in anyway been nasty. We have always treated him with gentleness and respect and many days he wants to come out and free range. Some days he prefers to stay in his cage and we can respect that so we leave him alone with his thoughts as he...
Over the last 6-7 years I have had lots of chams as part of my breeding stock and raised many babies. I have more issues with the girls then the boys, and always take them to the vets. I would say at LEAST 2 times a year for URI, parasites (newly purchased animals only) and egg binding. I have...
My heart goes out to you and your family with your loss of your friend. These little guys really have a way to weedle themselves into our hearts. RIP Beezer and my sincere condolences to you and your family.
No, I have an adult male veiled that has a whitish casque and is perfectly healthy. He looks like he could use a little more water - his eyes are just a bit sunken. Try a drip to help.
BTW, he looks like he is going to be a beautiful adult!
If the eggs are indeed moldy, then they are infertile. Sometimes a female will lay fertile and non-fertile eggs. I always remove the moldy ones. The fertile ones should be fine even if the vermiculite is a bit wet. If you are sure it is too wet for your preference you could leave the cover off...
