So yesterday I finally thought I was ready to go pick up my little guy. Hes a baby veiled called "Doc" and hes around 8 weeks old. At the moment hes housed in a glass and mesh terrarium but hes going into a larger half wood half mesh cage very soon.
I was wondering how other members operate their lighting, do you just flick them on and off or use some kind of dimmer to simulate sunrise and setting? will just turning the lights off and on have any effect on him?
He seems happy enough as far as i can tell, he give his new home a good exploration and now generally patrols the top of his ficus plant. He hasnt eaten anything today, tried both baby crickets and mini mealworms, but the shop guy said they had fed him before i bought him. he has done a poo though and i think i saw him take a drink. i understand this is normal behavior while settling in but how long before i should start worrying?
I will get some pics up soon, hes just sooo cute and easily the coolest thing ive ever owned, im looking forward to a long and happy time together.
