ok sorry if the post is kind of long just want to make sure i get all the info that i need. I just got a 5 to 6 month old veiled at the reptile show when it came to S.D. I have little yager in a medium cage with a 75 watt basking bulb that gets it up to about 90 to 98 when it is real hot in my room. it is measured about 4 to 5 inches from he bulb wich is off the screen. i have a 5.0 uvb bulb running the length of the cage where he likes to chill. i spray him 2-4 times a day. ok now i was wondering what shld i do for supplementing wat is the best schedule? also i have a dripper bout every other day but his feces are still a little orange what sld i do? ok now i am building a cage and want to know your ideas. It is a 2' widex2'deepx5' tall cage with slats in the bottom with screen so that the water can drain into a ben, I have a 1' ficus with a1' hybiscus with two hanging pathos in it. Do you think i can still run the 5.0 uvb bulb or should i get a bigger one and same with the basking bulb? and also ima get a habba mister wat you think about that?? and also do you think ima need t teach him how to eat from a cup?

You are baking your Cham, lower the wattage of his basking bulb to 60 watts and get his basking spot to 85 degrees. My dusting schedule is
Monday- Friday calcium without d3
sat- nothing
Sunday- alternate the calcium with d3 and multivitamins
I would use a habba mist. Look into getting a mistking, you will thank yourself.

ok i will get a cooler bulb thank you. yea i want to get a mist king but they are real expensive :/ so i was wondering if the habba mist would be sufficient enough?

Well your bulb is too hot, try a 40-60w and you should still use a 5.0 UVB.

From what I've read, the habba mist is junk lol and you would be much better with a mist king.
