8 inches, it is 80-83 degrees and I figured as he gets bigger he'll technically be closer to the bulb making it a hotter basking area if that's correct?I would add more foliage. How far is thr basking branch from the uvb light?
Also where would you recommend adding more foilage and foilage as in artificial foilage or live such as pothos? All the pothos at my home depot were pretty small and I'm unsure how to get them higher in the enclosureI would add more foliage. How far is thr basking branch from the uvb light?
For a veiled, live is better because sometimes they like to munch on it and it hold humidity a lot better.Also where would you recommend adding more foilage and foilage as in artificial foilage or live such as pothos?

Any suggestions to putting a pothos higher up in the enclosure since the ones locally here don't have long vines so I can't get them up very high? I'm waiting for a jungle dawn led to get in so It will hopefully help it grow.I bought a pothos divided and braided it myself.
Yeah I have a misking for his water I just barely fill the water every day for the crickets lolI have both live and fake plants the hibiscus is real I would load your cage with a lot of plants and the water at the bottom your Cham will not use they do not see standing water as a source to sting from
Should look into a dripperYeah I have a misking for his water I just barely fill the water every day for the crickets lol
I have one but the last time I used it it the water just pooled on the screen and didn't go throughShould look into a dripper
I do but it was labeled a Schefflera arboricola, which is on flchams safe plant list. Is there anyway to tell what type of umbrella tree and if it is/isn't safe??Do you still have that particular umbrella tree/schefflera in the cage? If so I would remove it immediately. If I am correct that is the schefflera that is considered completely unsafe. The schefflera that is normally used can also be toxic if eaten in huge quantities, but the amount veileds eat never seem to bother them with type of plant. But the type of schefflera I saw in your picture is never considered safe to use.
I'm no means an expert it was just a decent sized plant to fill up all the empty space in my enclosure and it was labeled one on their list, any advice on how to make sure it's OK or even a different plant to put in there would be appreciatedDo you still have that particular umbrella tree/schefflera in the cage?

Any suggestions on any others? The pothos available at the moment where I'm at are all small and wouldn't provide much foilage. Just want something decently sized!The plant species schefflera arboricola is definitely the one you want. But unless yours is a relatively huge plant that has been growing several years it wouldn't look near enough like that to be confused easily. Generally when they are labeled in like home depot or similar stores they don't know what they are talking about
