Hey all,
I have read several care sheets, but as a newb, i am still a little unclear about housing requirments for veils. My question takes several forms;
1. Is a fresh-air habitat (which i have heard is the better of the commercial cages) that is 30x18x30 big enough for two adult, opposite sex, veils if it is devided in half? jueviniles? babies? too big? does it really need to be devided in half of will the two veils have enough room to find their own spots? Very confused.
2. if i do half to devide the tank, will using a mesh screen be acceptable, or is it better to make sure they do not see each other?
3. Lighting. I have an 18 inch flourecent lighting fixture. ANy suggestions as to what bulb i should us? Is 18 inch big enough? will putting a regular lighting fixture with a normal bulb for heat next to the pen be good enough for basking? again, very confused.
4. Not that i am experienced enough for it yet, but does anyone have any directions or guides for free-range housing? (i saw on a site somewhere that this can work as the veils will often just hang out on the tree you have set up for them, and as long as certain precautions are taken to assure that it cant get off the tree and surprise me while im on the toilet) (When i am a little more experienced, this might be good for my appartment. No dogs cats or kids, and very little traffic)
5. just in case anyone missed my other post, are asian pitcher plants toxic to veils? Can veils munch on the leaves without distroying themselves or the plant too much?
Thanks for all the help,
Jeff
