You need a better pic of the back feet so we can see if it has a spur, besides gender what is your setup for this young veiled?

Lightning, supplements, feeders, hydration these are things you (we) need to know about.

Looks like a lady...What are you feeding the crickets? What type of calcium and vitamins are you giving her? You don't need the blue light, just a regular bulb.

A pic of the cage setup would help also.

No spurs on the back feet. Calcium every feeding, vitamin D3 twice a month and vitamins twice a month. Are you gutloading your crickets and do you plan on using other feeders besides crickets?

A side note, since you have a female, make sure you prepare and get a laying bin even though she is still very young.
