Veiled not eating???

cycluraman Aug 21, 2008 07:45 PM

Hello,
I bought a veiled about two weeks ago. He is in a 7 foot ficus tree in a room all by himself. He gets misted twice a day by a spray bottle. I have seen him eat ficus leaves but not any insects. I put a clear cup with crickets,superworms in it and also tried hand feeding. He looks very healthy eyes not sunken, great color. I am begining to become very concerned. I also had him shipped from florida to virgina. Please help he hasnt eaten in almost two weeks now!
Thanks Josh

you need to take it to a vet. Thats too long without food. Is it drinking well? is it warm enough? does it have a UVB light?
