Okay, here's the story. I tried to find the "ask for help" thing and couldn't find it.....
So...
I have a veiled that I believe is about 2-3 months old (probably measures about 2 & 1/2 inches without tail).
She is currently in a 10 gallon tank with a screen top ( I am finishing the screen enclosure that I am building).
She has a basking lamp and a UVB. I mist her tank 3-5 times a day. She has a live Pothos and a branch (I baked it), and a fake vine with leaves.
The temps are roughly 90 on basking end and about 75ish on cool end of tank. Well, the problem is she is not eating the way that I believe she should. When I bought her the pet store informed me that she was eating 3-4 crickets a day. On here I learned through reading and posting that she should eat more like 10-15 per day. Well, she is not eating well. The crickets don't get eaten, they hide under the paper towels, etc. I just tried putting them in a small clear bowl, but she didn't seem to get the hang of it...
Oh and when I have put a small dish with veggies in the tank she completely ignores it.
Otherwise she seems healthy to me. Is somewhat active, stays a light green, etc.
Any and all suggestions to get her to eat better would be greatly appreciated!
