Just an update. She's gone thru her second molting since we got her a little over a month ago. She's got quite the personality developing and seems to have bonded with me more an anyone else in the house. Maybe it's because I feed her more lol
Juvi Veiled Female named Gir. My husband named her after the robotic companion to Zim from the Invader Zim cartoons. Ended up fitting her as she's a little mischievous and silly at the same time.
Me and my boys did that too while my husband was building the enclosure lol. She's not on them that much. She seems to prefer the fake leaves across the top, which I want to get a few more vines for until the pothos plants take off. The picture doesn't do justice either as the cage is actually...
We sure did. Just haven't had the extra $$ to get a whole new fixture and bulb. That should be taken care of in the next few weeks. We also have some sticks to clean up and put in there for her.
Hi gang! Just wanted to update. We returned the glass enclosure due to such high humidity levels over night and built her a screened enclosure. Very basic, but it does the trick. Basking zone stays around 80 degrees (need to get a higher watt bulb to get a little warmer). We also added two...
You all have been a great help for sure. It is a lot on information and the lady at the pet store was fairly informed, but not neat the level that you guys are. I love to look through everything here to get more, and better, ideas about how to keep her going as long as possible.
We've already...
I read that yesterday also. We have her half the normal amount of crickets last night and gave her more this morning to start her on that process.
We'll start getting the substrate out tonight then and moving plants and such around the top of the cage until we can get a few more things for her.
Should there be anything on the bottom then if we take substrate out? Like I said, petsmart employee's apparently don't know much as that's what they suggested to put in it.
Thanks for both replays.
I'll start by saying that she initiates being let out. As my husband is normally the first one home, he sees her first and she tries to get to him. This is actually what made us look at her to begin with. She tried to get to our son at the pet store.
We haven't given...

Will post a pic as soon as we get home.
As for letting her out, she comes up to the door and starts trying to get to him thru the door. Today, she started out dark until he opened the door and she turned bright green again while climbing all over him. She also brightened back up while eating.
We bought a juvie veiled charms over the weekend and she's been awesome. She even started molding on Monday. Today, when my husband got home, she was a darker green than normal, but brightened right up as soon as he opened the cage door and let her roam a bit. She ate some crickets, drank some...
