I have a female veiled getting ready to deposit her eggs in about a week and a half or two. (Her 1st clutch.)
I live in the great Northwest where we get very little sunshine. The last few weeks it's been gorgeous outside, so I have built an outdoor tube cage (w/ a ficus tree inside) to allow my chams to take turns to benfit from natural sunshine for a minimum of a hour a day. (Don't worry, no direct sun, and it's only about 80-85 degrees outside when I do it and place it under a tree so it has leafy shade.)
Since my female is close to depositing her eggs, I have put her in a secluded area with plenty of soil. She hates to be bothered anyway, but now she can't stand it if I even LOOK in on her!
My question is, do I go ahead and upset her and take her outside for about an hour a day to benefit the natural vitamin D that the sun gives out? Or do I just leave her alone and just keep on powdering her food?
