Baby Veiled Cham. new owner

The room that I have it in is about 75F all day.. so im guessing just a low wattage bulb would do fine.

That is a VERY young baby. If it's male he will have spurs (little bumps) on the heels of his back feet. Post # 10 in this links shows a picture of how I keep babies.

hey

congrats on the new cham only my opinion but id have a little more vegetation in my cage.

 

[jettyfish91]

Yea I will be picking up some live plants this weekend.
Still trying to decide what plant to get tho...

 

[ISA my Veiled]

My veiled does wonderfully with a Ficus Benjamina. THey are good indoors and easy to take care of. Also when you do get the plant make sure you wash it off really well and replant it in organic potting soil so that if he does happen to consume the leaves the fertilizer does not kill him or if he gets into the dirt and eats it lol. Good set up though to start, if he was older though it would be just about perfect with a plant in there. Do you have a drip system and all that?

 

[jettyfish91]

Yea I have a cup with a hole in it that i use for dripping..
What do you guys use as far as water? drinking water? sink water?
I am using drinking water.
Also for some reason It will not eat even the smallest dubia I try feeding it? It grabs it the kinda just lets it go.. But it ate FFs so it should be good for now but was just wondering if maybe its still to young (1-2 months old)

 

[jannb]

We use RO water here. I would recommend feeding a 1 to 2 month old very small crickets. Fruit flies are or too but if he's really one to 2 months he should be eating 1/8 inch crickets.

 

[jettyfish91]

Yea the Fruit flies was only b/c i was a little panicky... but it finally ate a dubia nymph earlier so it should be good now
