my female veiled (betty) is not eating that much she is a small bowl of meal worms every two days and about 2 locust in three days her temps are 28.3c-30c in the basking area and 24c in the cool area .i have 100w basking lamp and a reptiglo 5.0 uv light she is in a 65 gallon screened enclosure and she is 4-5 months old i mist her enclosure three times a day and all she does is sit up by the reptiglo .i im just wondering because you guys n girls say that they should be eating 10 or so crickets please help http://www.myspace.com/evildude916 if you go on this link and in to the album betty you will see my enclosure many thanks ben :)
 
Some different feeders may help, silkworms, phoenix worms, roaches etc. And that is not a lot of food shes eating.
 
she might not want to eat right now and its normal they they get bored i found with my veileds usually during the winter it starts but you just gotta accept it for what it is what i do is take all the crickets out of the cage for a few days when they start "not eating" then,wait a few days to see if they are looking for food its very simple they roam around looking for something ,climbing down to the bottom of the cage and looking for something to eat then a wait another day and "try them" they almost always do what i expect. if your worried you can try other feeders if you been giving em the same food they most likely eat supers or silkies for you and that quick they be back eating again ,my one boy went like 3 weeks but he was so fat he didnt sweat it ,he liked it then he started eating lots of food again and again.
