    Previously rescued female Veiled for adoption in Ohio (Adopted!)

    I've been thinking about doing this for a while - I have health problems that have been making it hard to keep up with her on a daily basis, and am now looking at possibly having spinal surgery. She's my only herp that requires specific daily care, and I don't want anything to happen to her due...

    On the ground for a week now?

    Jane's been spending more and more time on the ground. Last night she slept there. (Earlier in the week I was moving her back up in the evenings, but I figure she's doing what she wants and am now staying hands off.) I know she can get around the tank fine because she comes up when food is put...

    Lost toenail?

    Jane was missing one nail from her front foot when I got her, but now the other nail on the same foot, same side is also missing. It happened sometime in the last week for sure. She is not a screen-crawler, so I'm wondering why this may have happened? I don't think I need to be worried, but...

    Out of curiosity - why are males kept warmer?

    I get the whole reason behind keeping the females cooler (smaller clutches), but what is the benefit behind keeping the males warmer? In the wild wouldn't they be found at the exact same temperatures? I haven't seen any explanation of why both sexes wouldn't do better at the same lower temp and...

    Is she scared of the snake?

    I saw in another topic where chameleons are afraid of snakes.... I hadn't been able to figure out why Jane was always so dark when most of the females I see posted here are such a happy green. She eats without a moment's hesitation and basks in the open all day long, but could she be showing...

    Is there a quick way to tell if calciworms aren't dead?

    I always have to wait 15 minutes or more to see if the calciworms I fished out of the container are actually alive. She will eat anything that goes into the feeder cup, so I always check to make sure they move first. But they are so inactive! There's always three or four that don't move, so I...

    Fed darkling beetles an orange and they all died?

    I am so past mad right now! It took me two months to get that many going. I had finally reached a number where I was going to stop pupating for a while. I gave them one chunk of orange last night, peeled. It was the same orange I gave to the crickets, mealworms, and my millipedes. Everything...

    Turning a wire rack into a cage?

    Before I seriously start considering it I wanted to run it past the people here. The shelving unit is 18 x 48 and 72 high. The entire room is heated and there is a floor to ceiling gradient of around 73-85. This is for a female veiled. What I want to do is chloroplast the sides and part of...

    Is there a way to keep crickets from hiding in the plant pots?

    Ugh. I forgot this is why I pulled the potted plants out of my geckos's enclosure months ago! The crickets have all tunneled into the schfllera's pot and while I can't see them I can hear at least a dozen in there, singing away. Now I'm not sure how many my veiled is getting to eat! A good...

    Amount of food to order for a veiled?

    Could REALLY use some help with this! Math and computing things and planning in general has been hard since a double concussion this summer, and on top of that I'm still not sure how much my new veiled should be eating... I've got a rescued adult female veiled with mild MBD who is currently at...

    Could use help and guidance - new veiled owner with new rescue

    I have trouble saying no to an animal in need. We rescued two leopard geckos about two months ago from a person on Facebook who was selling off their collection of animals. Since then, they've doubled in weight, if that tells you anything about the state they were in when we got them. This...
