    Found my first batch of mites

    It's all cleaned out! My blue fang seems much happier. I thought something was up when she was stuck to the top of the cage this morning looking like a pokie. She never dug a burrow, she had a hide in there before but I didn't put it back in with her becuse i'd prefer her to burrow...

    I will soon be getting a 1/2 in. babycurus gigas, within the next 4 days, and since i've never cared for anything that small, i'm kind of worried. What am I to do if I can't get my hands on some pinhead crickets? I have some hisser nymphs would they work? How do you feed something that small...
