In a week or so I plan to get a veiled. I have been doing loads of research and picture looking. It seems that every place has different things to say. I want to ask some questions of people who have had them and kept them successfuly.
(warning* Im not a good speller)
1) For a baby veiled, would a 14.5 w x 14.5 l x 20 h screen cage be good?
2)For Heating, I know you need a UvB and most agree that a reptisun 5.0 is good, but do i also need a heat bulb too? If so, what is a recommended bulb and wattage?
3) How many times a day do you feed them? (i have heard "just put the crickets in there and let it eat when it wants") also is Gut Load good enough or should i use Gut Load with calcium?
4) Vitimans- do I need a calcium suplament and other vits. or is a vit w/ calcium good enough?
5) Cage setup- I plan to used fake plants mixed with real (the real plants to keep humidity up but also to not flood my room with a dripper system) what are good plants that i can use that you could find in say an everyday walmart. (i live in mid Pa so there isnt much here to go for exotic plants) and are those bendy vines good? also what do you do when the plant starts to get too big? just cut it or get a new one?
6) this is an importants one, when i get it and put it in the environment, i know i have to give it time to adjust and calm down. How long should that be and what should the owner to cham. handling ratio be?
That should do it for now. anyother veiled tips and tricks would be greatly appriciated. also good websites and book would help too. thanks
