Greetings, Chris. The photo of your cham looks quite healthy. Is this a recent photo? I don't see black dots. She looks like she is showing receptive coloration. SOmetimes they will do that even when there is no male cham around. A female veiled can get very dark, with some very exotic looking spots when she is gravid/preparing to lay eggs.
Chris asked: What may be wrong the basking is about 95f and i have a repti glo 8.0 uvb light.
An 8.0 UVB light seems rather strong. Is that one of the desert series? A too strong UVB light will cause stress. A 5.0 bulb is recommended by most, unless your cage is about 4 feet tall and large.
Chris said: I mist about 2-3 times a day i ran out of crickets so i have been feeding her dubia roaches. I was home for a week of no school. I have a schefflera in the cage and alot of fake plants and some soil for the schef. that is planted in and has those white styrofoam beads is this bad?
Tonight cover the soil at the base of her plant with damp paper towels. Wrap the paper towels around the base of the plant stems and make sure all the soil is covered. Then, when you get a chance, purchase some "washed rocks" to cover the soil with. These are a very large (about 1" x 1" and larger) form of pea gravel used in landscaping. If you use "found" rocks, make sure they are clean and safely sanitized before placing on the soil. And keep up the misting. That's really good that her urates are white.
Chris said: My cage is located by my window that is kinda cold outside but heated from 10 am to 912 pm.
We have a veiled male who sleeps in a bay window. In the winter his sleep area really does get a bit too cold for his good. So, on the truly cold nights I clip a heat bulb (the kind you use for reptiles who need heat lamps) not far from him to just warm his ambient air up a bit. When I don't do that, he is very slow to wake up in the morning and displays other minor problems.
Chris said: I need to make a supplement schedule any tips on what to do. The chams poop is dark brown and urine is white. Any help is appreciated
