Like Candyman said, a cup is the best way to monitor you little guy's food intake. I hang one inside the enclosure each morning before I leave for work. When I get home, I just count how many feeders (if any) are left. Nice and easy! And congrats!

Like Lathis said, it's defensive. She's trying to make herself look bigger and more threatening. Lateral compression (squeezing in her sides and flattening like a pancake), is another common behavior. She'll settle in, though.

Ha! But it's a hell of a video. The little guy looks so happy.

Yep. I did the same thing. And now I'm posting on a thread from 2008, too.

Do you have live plants in the enclosure? If so, what sort of soil are you using/where did it come from? For instance, did you re-pot the plants. Just wondering if that might have something to do with it. If the plants came from a nursery, they might very well have come along with a hitchhiker.

Thanks so much for the input. I really appreciate your help!

Great! Thanks very much for your help.

Here's the enclosure with more branches. I've got a few more to add, but I need to get some more neodymium magnets (I use them to mount the branches and to hang the feeding bin and worm cup). Thanks again for your help!

Oh yeah, and I'm glad things are working out and he's relaxing!

Yeah, my girl's still settling in as well. It's been about two weeks and she's still pretty wary of me. The big news is, she ate out of my hand last night! I'm making the switch from crickets to dubias, as well.

Thanks for the info. I'll definitely add more branches. And the hibiscus really seems to have come out of shock well. I hope it stays that way!

Yeah, took the picture a few days back, just after I added the hibiscus. I had to take out a lot of the cage furniture to make room. I've added branches back, and put in a good vine for her, too. Do you think there should be some horizontal ones lower down, too? She really seems to like climbing...

Hey, thanks for taking a look. Not the best pic, but here you go:

Congratulations!

Hey Peachypink, how goes it? Any change? I just put a hibiscus into my veiled's enclosure a few days ago. The plant's got some gorgeous red flowers which seem to have exploded into life in the vivarium. Overall, I think Meagan's adjusted pretty well. She doesn't pay them much mind. I've...

Hi All, I have a Reptisun T5 high output 14 inch hood (12 inch bulb) on an 18 inch wide enclosure. Is the UV coverage adequate, or should I move to the next size up, the 24 inch hood? Also, the heat lamp is in the back right-hand corner, with the hood in front of it. When my veiled basks, I'm...

Not a bad way to go. Thanks!

A gang valve, of course! That's a great idea!! Thanks for all the helpful info. I thoroughly enjoyed your novel.

Have you tried a feeding cup? I put feeders into a tall tupperware container and hang it midway up the vivarium. My girl can see the movement inside and go over if she's interested. She can reach in, but the feeders can't climb out.

Suh-weet!
