Ok thank you!!! I've fed her about 8 so far today is that okay?
My veiled is from petco and has always been perfectly healthy. I kind of felt bad for him in that little glass box, so I bought him and gave him a great life thus far. He's now a big happy 11 month old boy! So I'm personally not against it at all, and looked at it as adopting him and giving him a better life.
That's awesome!!!
Ok I will do that we had it out before and we feed her crickets out of a little cup and the reason we put it in there is because she has a little water bowl with a bubbler in it and she could wrap around it but I will remove it thanks
We have a little vine typed thing along with the one with the leaves that we will put in when we clean her cage (probably tomorrow as we just cleaned it yesterday) when we bought her from the pet store and the people said that she wouldn't drink from the leaves and they had a little bowl with a bubbler in it so that's what we did. I'm pretty sure the sizes are 12x12x24 but we are going to get her a bigger one in about a month. Yes, we have a panther egg currently incubating in my closet set to hatch November 21st. We are going to get a bigger tank for the panther when it gets about 2-4 mos old and we will use the one that Lizzie is currently using now for when we clean their tanks. We know not to let them see eachother so we will put one on one side of my dresser and one on the other. Any tips for the panther that's different from veileds? Thank you so much for everythingI've never had a female so I can't comment on that but I think it would be a good idea to get a lay bin ready for her. Like others have said, she does look pretty plump.
I do have a couple of observations for you if you are open to suggestion...
First, I don't see any branches in her cage? It looks like you have one vine attached by suction cup that is just hanging and a plant. She should really have lots of horizontal sticks and branches at varying heights and thickness all throughout the cage with the plants for cover. In the one picture you can see her trying to climb the tube, she needs to be able to get higher. Look through the enclosure thread and see what others have done.
Second, The water bowl is really not a safe option. Unless you are cleaning it almost daily it can easily be a source for bacteria. They drink from misting the leaves not usually from a bowl of water.
And third, your viv seems on the small side. What are the dimensions of it? You might want to consider an upgrade in size for her.
Do some more research and have you parents do some research as well. If I'm not mistaken you said that your family was looking at getting a Panther soon? Panthers and veilds have different needs and are so worth getting things set up well for them to have long happy lives.
Why not? I rescued my Veiled from a Petco, i would rather buy from them and save the animal instead of letting it die due to Petco/Petsmart not being able to care for them. I dont really understand why people say to stop buying from them.
Yea my Petco sickens me, only the beardies get a UVB, no heat or anything, dead crickets to eat, and there are atleast 10 in a 10 gallon tank at a time. Then you look at the chameleons, they have no heat, no uvb, a dripper dripping into a water bowl, 1 plant, 1 vine, and eco earth as a bedding and they only get fed mealworms. It is disgusting. And then you look at the frogs and the snakes and they are cared for perfectly!
Wow that's sad. I'm the same way as you about buying from Petco/PetSmart
Ok and also is this sand the right kind for a laying bin?
Any type of washed play sand works.
Here's what my Veiled's enclosure looked like when he was a juvenile and that's the minimum in my opinion. He's getting a much taller and bigger one when he turns a 1yr in Sept.
