Hey there! I couldn't stop at one....
I have a A. geniculata (Brazilian giant white-knee), and a Cyriopagopus lividus / Haplopelma lividum (Cobalt Blue) en route from Jamie's Ts on the way, they're shipping Monday. Hopefully. Plus, I'm going to be getting 1, maybe 2, B. albopilosum - Honduran Curly Hairs. My question(s) are as follows. All are Slings, The largest would be the H. lividum at maybe .75". All are Terrestrial, which make it easier, too, and I did get the substrate from Jamies T's, too, to make my life easier. Just 2 more to get, eventually, and I'll be "set"...maybe. Anyways!
For housing the A. geniculata is coming w/ a Terrestrial Spiderling Enclosure. It's 2.25 sq x 4.25". Clearly that's going to be large enough for a .25"-.33" sling. I picked up some "tupperware" from Walmart that I'm going to be using a soldering iron to ventilate, and use ultra fine sandpaper to smooth it out so no risk of rough edges. They're in the pics below with the sizes on said pics. Is it better to have them in something they can "grow" into, or move them later on? I don't know if having them in something a bit larger is more or less stressful than moving them later on, and with the larger ones (not going to lie) my kitten isn't able to knock them off. (I know, don't let the cat near them... I have 1 room to myself for me, my animals, and thats it. And well... she's a cat, they climb. So far, she's left Luna, my A. Avicularia alone.)
Substrate won't be a problem, nor will water, and I've ordered flightless fruitflies from Flukers as there is NO where near me (All I have is Petsmart...) to get food that will be small enough for slings that little. I have "decor" (plants, rock hides that can't top or fall and smoosh anyone, water bottle caps) already, I "THINK" I have everything setup and ready for them.
Am I missing anything?
