Hey everyone new to the thread and new to my new veil buddie . I got him from a pet store they thought he was about 6 months or so i thought about 3 . Not sure and i have his basking temp at 82 degrees and other lower parts are lower. I try to feed him with the tweezers he dont really like it . Seems like he just like to hunt for his food haha. But what do you think about him ??

Ok, so he is a male, so he is not gravid. Just to make sure, since you see him in person, does he have spurs on his ankles?
 
Oh haha so another question he does get blue spots when i am messing in his cage but thats only when he puffs up . Think thats from the painting in the backround?

Feed as much as much as he will eat right now about 10-12. I truly believe he is younger than 6 months. You need to take the dirt out of the bottom of your cage and have nothing there. This will help you keep your cage cleaner and will help not make the room smell funny. You need to mist your plants 2-3 times a day for 2-3 minutes each time. It will stimulate your cham into drinking plus help with humidity. Get plant stands to raise everything up a bit. If you have a potho hang it higher.
 
Ok n

Ok no problem I'll get started and post updates. Cant i just leave it like that and add more uptop??
 
Having nothing on the bottom is the way to go. Cleaning is a lot easier that way. Plus you can get gnats and stuff if you keep moist dirt. Your room will start to smell. I promise you'll start to hate it :)
