They are not that great because they are from my cell, but you get the jist! lol
P.S. I got this pretty little boy from wst0209a (a member here) if you are in search of a baby veiled that is super healthy and active, he has a bunch of babies just as cute as mine lol. He takes great care of them, and answers any questions you have!! (great prices dont hurt either lol)

Looks good

Everything looks fine to me. I still don't have my first cham, but I've been doing so much research feel like an expert :p. Great looking little Veiled :D! My only comment would be...
Real Plants! If for no other reason but to make the cham happy. He will be in his smaller cage for a few months, and real plants help in many ways including- helps preserve humidity, creates oxygen and uses Co2, and if it's non-toxic he can nibble on the leaves if he so desires.
As I said, I don't even have my first cham, so wait for others with more experience to give you advise. This is just my two cents, and in truth I probably posted because I'm jealous that you have a cham and I don't :mad::D! He's beautiful. Have a great time with him for me until I can get one myself :(:D.
 
The problem with real plants is that most are too large for his cage, and aolot of the smaller ones are either too fragile for him when he grows some, or they dont look healthy...

His official name is.....(drum roll please)..............BLEEKER lol
 
Everything seems good but i'd lower your basking temps until he gets alittle older. I'd drop it down to 85-90 max at the warmest spot.
 
I can do that :D Thanks for your input!!

When he basks he always gets up on the thermometer wire as close to the light as possible(about 3.5 inches away)....any idea why??
 
Glad to see everything is going great with the little guy. I like his name. Like Nicodemayo suggested the temp should be about 85F. He is probably just trying to get as high as he can, they like to be as high as possible. Just make sure he does not get close enough to the light to be able to get burnt or overheat. I'm happy to have found such a good home for the first one, I hope the rest go to great homes as well. Keep us posted, I can't wait to see how he turns up. Keep up the good work.
 
That makes sense, that is the highest spot in the cage. He is doing great Weston, he loves the pheonix worms, im going to have to stop giving them to him every day though, he is begining to refuse crix. I have to put them in his cup, close the cage, and walk away for a few minutes until he realizes he isnt getting any worms before he will even look at the crickets. He sits at the door like a lost puppy when I walk away lol.
