So you decided on a Veiled?
Yep, getting him this weekend. Its a 4 to 5 month old veiled male.
The only thing I won't have when I get him is the UVB light bulb, and that's suppose to come in on Monday.

Absolutely no problem of a few days without a UVB light. If worried a little direct sunlight even if it's cold outside wouldn't do the Veiled any harm.
You're going to have a lot of fun with your new pet. Is he/she wild caught or domestically bred?
You need to understand the true nature of Veiled's. Please watch this video and see attached photo and be very, very careful:

I recommend you do NOT watch that video. It is a bad example that in my opinion shows mis-treatment, causing unnecessary stress to both animals.

That video is kind of upsetting to me.. Why would you purposely stress your cams out like that? I would definitely not take that kind of "advice" especially on how to handle your cham.
Good luck with your little veiled! You will definitely want another one lol.
