Here below is a very helpful link, for starters. I would also suggest you use the search key near the center top of this page, for further specific research.

And here is another link:

How exciting. Veileds are great little guys. Our first male veiled, Guido (who is now 3 1/2 years old), is a real teddy bear. Let us know if you have any further specific questions. Keeping these is a challenge. We endured a few setbacks and challenges, with Guido, along the way. The more you have to research and dig out on your own, the better equipped you will be for your new arrival.

Here is a list that I put together a few months ago with all of the essentials minus possibly a softray for the Reptarium, or you could go with a screen cage keeping in mind that they will need a smaller one while they are babies that they will quickly outgrow. Add live plants.
