11 week old Veiled

[bmccartney2004]

We have had our young veiled for about 3 weeks now. We moved about a week and a half ago and everything has been fine. Yesterday he ate 4 crickets and 2 waxworms. Today, however, Bug hasn't eaten anything. The temperature at the highest point in his cage is 95 with humidity at 40%. I don't know if we should be concerned or if we're just overreacting being first time parents Thanks for the help! I'm sure that the pictures won't do much because of the low quality but we lost the cord for our camera in the move

I would say that 95 is a bit too hot for an 11 week old Veiled. Can you describe your caging. lighting, supplementing, etc...?

Thanks for the quick response! I'll drop his temp to 90 degrees so that will give him a range of 90 to about 65 to thermoregulate. Tonight he started eating again so I think we're ok.
