Alex,

Good looking guy you have there. My veiled goes through phases too, eating one particular insect and not another. I try to provide a variety of crickets, dubias, superworms, BSF larva and wax worms, but it's a crap shoot most days as to what he's going to choose from the cup. From what you've posted everything looks pretty good. You might up your basking temps a bit to 88-89* and see how he does. Does he hand feed? You might see if he'll take a superworm or cricket from you. You can also PM Jannb as she keeps veiled. Hopefully one of the senior veiled keepers will chime in shortly. Please keep us posted as to how he's doing.

Kinyonga, great article!

Very handsome boy! How often do you offer him food? I feed adults 3 times a week. If you are offering him food every day then he might just be sick of seeing food all the time. I highly recommend a fecal to check for parasites. Parasites can cause them to stop eating especially cociddia.

I have been offering him food everyday , but I recently changed his menu again and I'm going to offer him food 3 times a week, thank you guys again for the help

Have you tried raising his basking spot temp? 83 F is low.
