Hi everyone,
I have a young male veiled (about 5 months got him at 2 weeks hatched ) he's about 5 months now. We just recently moved him into a brand new fancy enclosure which he seemed to love the first day or two, now he's suddenly stopped cruising around and just sits at one spot at the top (where the basking lamp isn't). Wondering if anyone has any ideas?
The cage is a homemade wooden and screen enclosure. I'm running a reptisun 5.0 and a sunglow 100 watt during the day with temps inside ranging from 70 to 90 degrees and about 60 at night. He has a ficus and a pathos as well as fake vine and two pieces of my dads grapevine stems to play on. I mist at least twice a day and he does have a dripper. I saw him drink yesterday but not today.
He has been eating but today he wouldn't budge until I showed him the tub I feed out of and shot them right out. I just read that the orange cubes I feed the cricks aren't enough to properly gutload so I will be changing that. He did come down to the bottom of the cage once today, but only to shoot dirt (greeeaaat). So I will be covering the dirt in the plant pots with rocks tomorrow. Would he get lethargic when he is getting ready to shed maybe? Any input would be great!
