May need some advice.

Also should I get a ceramic heat emitter for night time?

Peachy is right it's a boy it seems so obvious in these pictures so sorry about that I would use crickets ,Dubai roaches,silkworms and black soldier fly larvae with the occasional hornworm and Super worm's as treats but I'm not saying feed those 4 things at the same time rotate them out so he don't get tired of one thing and no u don't need any additional heat unless your home is lower than 55 at night and I'm sure it's not

No need for night heat. A temp drop of at least 10 degrees is good for them. It helps their digestion.

For feeders as I mentioned above...dubia and crickets make good staples. Also silk worms, orange heads, mantids... look under the feeders forum and study up, there are so many options. I look and see if I can find a list of good veggies to feed a veiled.

I personally think that getting them on line is better unless you have a really good pet store that caries a variety. Banded crickets that you can get online seem to stay alive longer.

You can get hornworms that are small to start with and I put them in the fridge for a day and out a day to keep them smaller longer. They can take them down pretty big though since they are soft feeders. Just not too big. If I have any that get too big, I let them cocoon.

Okay, perfect. Thank you!

Definitely not me! I just want to make sure I'm doing all I can for my little baby. I'm sure I'll have more questions in the future.

I will definitely switch out the cricket food and look into the recommendations.

Also, the lights I will put on a timer.
Should I get rid of the red light completely? Our living room is next to dining room and we watch TV at night and I don't want the light to disturb Benzo should I cover the cage?

I am misting with a spray bottle 3-4 times a day with a spray bottle. I see him drinking everyday multiple times a day.

What types of fruit and veggies should I get? And as for the food I'll get rid of the meal worms. I have heard that horn worms are very big and I'm a bit nervous to feed him anything that big. As for ordering feeders online is it better then going to a local pet store.

Sorry if I'm asking any dumb questions I just want to make sure I am doing everything I can for him.

I will get a better picture of his back feet if it will help.

Here's a link for fruits and veggies. Go down to the gut load part. Anything that can be fed for gutload can be given to a veiled.

Just a quick update, Benzo is acting 100% back to normal. We have been turning the lights off at 7pm and on at 8am as recommended. I did go out and bought some hornworms to see how he would like them. He ate one tonight and he loved it. I'm ordering dubia and cricket crack and getting rid of the orange feed.

Thanks again everyone!
