Here is my new veiled. My son has named him Godzilla. Just wanted to show him off and see if anyone had any recommendations. I have had him for two days now and he eats one cricket out of the 5 that I put in the feeder (modified milk jug) and then takes off. Is this just because he is getting used to his new home? Also, saw him poop once and it was very wet with yellow in the middle. I read this means that he is dehydrated.
Here are some stats:
65 gallon reptarium
Reptisun 5.0 18"
Heat Lamp
Live plant - a schefflera
Fake jungle vines
Feeder (modified milk jug with screen) - Crickets at this point. Gut loaded with Flukers Orange Cubes. I just read that this isn't enough. I will be adding some veggies. I think the crickets may be getting too much time in the cage before being eaten as well.
Jurassi-Cal phos and D3 free calcium - daily
Reptivite vitamin - plan to use 1 - 2 x per month. I haven't used this yet.
Basking temp/rh = 83 F / 57% rh (flukers digital thermo/hygrometer)
Cool section of the cage = 72 F / 40% rh
Misting manually every 2 - 3 hours for about 5 minutes. Afterword, I use a cup as a dripper. Drips for about 20 minutes (approximately 2 drips per second)
