[Bfrazi]

Ive had this little guy about 3 or 4 months now and I am wondering if its healthy. Looks skinny to me, but it eats like crazy.

What humidity and temps do you have? What are you feeding him and was is your supplement schedule?

 

[Bfrazi]

Humidity is at 50% temps normally 77 degrees F basking is at 85 degrees F. Been feeding a mixture of crickets, superworms, mealworms, and grasshoppers. Been dusting twice a week with calcium with d3 cant seem to find regular calcium may have to order.

Try to get the humidity up to around 60% if possible. 50% is okay, but it would be better if you bumped it up JUST a tad!

 

[Virgil1972]

Calcium with D3 should only be given twice a month for a veiled. To much D3 can cause other health problems.

Ok thanks for the info I will get humidity up and I WILL find regular calcium powder. Anything else??

Not to be rude, but my question still hasn't been answered.

Oh I'm sorry haha! Looks good to me, but if he goes on hunger strike for more than a few days, I would see a vet, but otherwise nice job! How long have you had him?

 

[Bfrazi]

3 to 4 months had one hunger strike but broke out some grasshoppers and he went nuts!

He looks ok for his age. You should be dusting with vitamin C without D at every feeding, vit D about twice a month, as @Virgil1972 already stated.

Thanks I went shopping today and found just straight calcium! Super happy but it wasn't cheap.
