Ok cool, my only choices where I go are small or large. I am judging by the size of the side of his mouth and the length of that being the size cricket that is ok. I could probably keep him on smalls it sounds like though.... And this time he did not complete his shed....still having problems...
Ok, so we are switching to big crickets now and I am seeking advice again on how many a day? I usually feed him twice a day. Also, it seems that Rufio sheds in threes and grows rapidly during that time! Is this good? This time he just shed last wednesday and is shedding again today, his sheds...
Wow what an exciting ride it has been so far, Rufio has shed at least 3 times and is growing sooooo fast! He typically eats 10 crickets twice a day and I recently gave him his first superworm (which he loved so I gave him two today). I am still looking for more specific feeding instructions for...
Ok well he ate almost 10 today so we are definatelly on the right track, also got a drip system and live plants!! He is in heaven now! Way more confident and active WhaT a diffrence! *slowly tasting sucess as a new owner and had a super day for communication with him too!*
Ok so let me ask this, I know for sure now that he is about 1 1/2 months old, I have offered him about 10 crickets a day of which he eats half or less, is that about right? (Veiled for those of you who aren't already familiar) I have found it hard to find a specific answer for this in both books...
I have found that I must have asked an alarming question, but am a new owner and haven't found any reason to be alarmed, he eats and drinks fine as far as I can tell, and looks very healthy! I think I have learned alot from asking and am making him an outside screen enclosure today. As far as on...
That's my plan, he is small and needs to be monitered though. I plan to hand feed fruits and superworms or whatever I find is his favorite and use other methods for insects.
Ok so let me ask this, I know for sure now that he is about 1 1/2 months old, I have offered him about 10 crickets a...
Trying a butter dish today, saw him approch and eat 2 crickets! This might be a good idea for now! His tounge is probably only 4 in or so long so it should be deep enough, expecially considering that he is not even standing on the dish but hanging above it! LOL
For all of you who may be curious, I got a hold of the shop I bought him at and they have been selling these Veileds for 17 years from the same breeder (Austin TX if you are out there) and he is 1 1/2 months old, they have been sucessfull with a great number of their new owners and I can call...

I am still learning and I know it is not over 85 during the day.... he is in my room and under constant attention except the 5 or so hours a day I work in which my mom will spray him for me. I will be purchasing digital gauges asap anyhow because everyone here has made me more nervous and...
