After I recieve my baby veiled..

[Cjd713]

When my male baby veiled arrives, should I take him out and put him in his cage immediatly, or would it hurt if i let him crawl? Thanks

I wouldn't keep him out for long. Maybe snap a pic or two and then allow him to get use to his new home.

make sure there is misting/dripping water available too. They are quite thirsty after a long trip in a box.

When I brought Amy home I took a quick photo of her in the box then tried to video her climbing out of the box into her new home! The video wasn't that good - I didn't want to scare her so I took it from a distance.

After a couple of pics, leave him alone and allow him to settle in and get used to his new cage and surroundings. As already said, he will probably be very thirsty. Don't worry if he doesn't eat straight away - it can take a couple of days for them to settle and feel comfortable. Enjoy the moment - they don't stay that small for very long!
