My female veiled had a very swollen right eye after laying eggs yesterday! i think it is due to substrate that might have went inside her eyes and irritated it? what to do? i kept spraying water and her eyes are still swollen :( i used potting soil like what i usually use when she lays. it's her...
my female 1yo laid her second clutch last week. she's been bred a few times (month before) before she laid her second clutch. now, it's about a week after she has laid her second clutch and i noticed some (majority) are shrinking but NO SIGNS of molding. could the humidity be low? or the eggs...

last week i tried introducing my male veiled to my female and she seems receptive to breeding because she didn't show any aggressive gestures so the male just went on top of her. i'm sure they locked but the mating was over in less than five minutes, is it normal or too fast? i tried introducing...
