I ordered a 3 month old veiled from FLChams, he came in today and is a lot smaller than I was expecting, he looks more like 6-8 weeks tops. I got a different light bulb with a lower wattage to get the temps lower to about 80-82.
He was bright green and asleep when he came in, I opened the tub and he crawled right into my enclosure. I already had it misted and sitting at 60% humidity.
After about a minute he crawled to the back and turned almost black, and sat there for a few hours. I went to bed (I work overnights) and when I got up he was moving around, but still black.
He didnt eat a single crickett today so I let a few free range on the leaf in front of him and he didnt eat. I didnt see him drink at all today either, but I was asleep most of the day. No poop yet to check out for dehydration.
He is sleeping now, bright green almost glowing it looks like.
I am feeding him 1/4" crix right now, is that small enough? They're about the size of his head.
Any advice on what I can do to ensure his health, I wasn't expecting such a young cham.

let him get settled in. it may take a few days but he will adjust fine as long as your husbandry is up to par.
