Steve's moving home!

[jackcsmith91]

Good morning/afternoon (wherever you are)

The time has come, Steve, 8 month old male veiled is moving into bigger and better things.

Current set up 46cm x 46cm x 60cm. Exoterra Glass. 40w heat. 18inch UVB. Mist 3+ a day. Natural plant. Eats 5-8 large locusts each day.

Moving into 80cm (w) x 50cm (d) x 100cm (h). LuckyReptile Mesh Pro. 60w heat. Same UVB. 2 natural plants (rather than 1). Diet and mists will stay the same.

He's outgrown his Exoterra and I want him to be able to move more freely.

However this is his first move. Any tips on moving him in? What shall I expect?

I'm thinking he may not eat for a day or two depending on how quick he settles into a new surrounding.

Any tips would be much appreciated!

Nah, he'll be fine, just watch how he doesn't care. Lol. He might roam around check out his new digs but that's about it.

I just moved my veiled into his new adult enclosure. He stuck to one corner for the night and most of yesterday morning. He wouldn't hand feed so I left his feeders in a cup and hung it in the vines for him to eat when nobody was around. Not 5 minutes later I start hearing his tongue smacking the cup. Today hes been roaming like crazy only stopping to bask every so often.

Hiya! I'm 3 days in.. and he hasn't eaten much! His locusts usually roam free and he was an incredible hunter before hand. I'm worried, but naturally as I right in thinking he's just getting used to his new territory and soon he should be back to his eating self in no time?
