I think now that the liquid may have been spider poop... yep, it has been sitting in the hole for the day, looks like it is starting to dig.

i screwed up badly. As I watched a cricket I had just put into my slings enclosure crawl into the burrow, I watched as my sling bit it and left it at that. Three hours later, the cricket is dead and my sling is still in the same position. An hour after that, I return to find my sling in what...

aight cool thanks!

My sling has eaten a small cricket that I killed beforehand. It dragged it to the bottom of the enclosure, sucked out the juices and has left it for some time now. I thought when things get messy the T will drag out the carcass from the enclosure to the surface. The carcass has now completely...

I would usually do that except that this new sling that I have bought really doesn't want to eat and keeps running away from food items... I've been shaking trying to remove crickets from its container.

Interestingly I am much more comfortable holding scorpions and tarantulas to crickets and cockroaches...

they seem good but they are so pricey...

thanks

I'm not sure, just the jumping I guess, and the struggling legs.

oh, I did not know that they slow down. Thanks for the advice... Still going to take a long time to handle though :(

I recently got a new sling, and bought some small sized crickets to feed it today. With my much larger scorpion I had been shuffling the feeding container over the enclosure and a cricket would eventually fall in, but with the small container the sling is in I have to coax one in. The sling was...

First time keeping a tarantula, this is the only enclosure (and smallest) that I had available. Is it too large?

I think I recall some people using this but I'm not sure. Bought from Bunnings Warehouse Sydney Australia.

It is a desert species, so they should die out. Are there any detrimental effects to the eggs hatching?

I am struggling to choose from a few species of spider that I am considering purchasing. Either Cataxia sp. trapdoor sling, Barychelidae Brush footed trapdoor spider, or Hadronyche infensa funnel web sling. Any recommendations or suggestions?

Is it harmful that feeder crickets are laying eggs in my scorpion's enclosure? If so, how can I prevent this from happening?

Well it was bought from the petstore, should I dunk it in distilled water for a couple of days or so?

I have purchased a small piece of Malaysian Drftwood from the local pet store. How should I go about cleaning it. I have distilled water on hand.

Wow, I actually found a darkling beetle in my feeder cricket box. What luck!
