Am I doing it right?

okay so I have a new baby veiled I've had for about 2 weeks now. He seems to be at around 3 months old. He is kept in an enclosure with a uvb bulb and a heat lamp and all the temperatures are perfect for his baskng spot and every where else in the cage. The cage is 3 ft tall all made of screen by 1.5 x 1.5.
I have a pothos and branches, mist the cage everyday multiple times a day. I have a drip system that i turn on for a few hours during the day. The thing I'm most concerned about are the supplements. I have been feeding him crickets that have been gutloaded with flukers high calcium cricket diet. I dusted them once this month with calcium d3. Should I be gutloading them with something else? and what brand do you recommend for regular everyday dusting? Also what other supplements should I give him and how often? thanks.

you should be gutloading with fresh fruits and vegetables. Use dark leafy greens like mustard greens, collard green, kale etc. You should be dusting you feeders at every feeding with calcium. That is calcium with no d3. Use the other calcium with the d3 a few times a month. Also get a multivitamin and use that a few time a month also. I would get rid of the flukers gutload and replace with fruits and veggies. I use the Sticky Tongues Minerall OUTDOOR forumla for every day dusting for my calcium supplement.
