RE: veil housing question

ok, cool, that does help with several of the questions. i would be very surprised if anyone would be able to answer the carnivorous plant question, but i thought i would ask anyway. i think i will have to do a little more research on that before i try it, like maybe try a small leaf and see if the veil eats it. If it does not, than i know im safe. If it does.. well... ill just have to keep track of what happens next.



I do still really want to know about the free range aspect of veil owning, as this sounds preferrable to having a screen cage, if it can be done.



As for the housing, if i have two screen cages next to each other, each with a different sex veil, will it still stress them out if they are a few feet apart, or should they be on opposite sides of the room?



What would be the smallest cage that would be acceptable to an adult veil? Is 18x12x18 good enough? I just want to know what kind of set ups i need to buy if i want to try veils



SPeaking of trying veils, what advace would you (as in yall) give for what veils to buy? Would it be easier for me to get a pair of babies that i could keep in the same cage for a while untill they are old enough to seprate and i am forced to buy another cage? Would it be easier to just go ahead and get 2 jueviniles and 2 cages? 2 adults?



Thanks for the time, i know i have alot of questions.

Jeff



ps. i also heard from another person that i may not need any flourecent bulb if my enclosure is in sunlight. Potentialy, i could have the cage in any kind of sun, from morning only, to afternoon only, to full day. Is this acceptable? I mean, besides cutting down on material and operating costs, it also means the veil would be getting full spectrum light. Yes?
