0.1 Davus sp. Panama - 1.75" DLS

This little lady (Pelé) went for a walkabout while I was cleaning her water dish out tonight. She molted 3 weeks ago and is looking gorgeous.
I've been debating on these on and off. I believe every image on the net I see is oversatured with photoshop- am I wrong here, are they typically such a bright red? Are they like incei- makes or subterranean web tunnels? Or is it a single burrow?

It's orange and red colors are more vibrant in person - I can't get it to show up as vividly in photos. Mine has always made a single burrow under the hide provided and created 2 entrances (one in front, one in the back or side) by webbing together the tailings from digging the burrow out to her liking. Even with the burrow she's been pretty visible. I think they're awesome little T's and I bet you would, too.

Did you have it as a .5” sling? I wanna rehouse my guy and add a small piece of cork bark hide with bio dude terra substrate. Idk how to add pictures on here so I cant show u. But it’s. 3x3x3 t crib cube. With 2” of that being substrate moist. I was told not to add a hide right now but its just in a plain 40 dram vial with maybe an inch of substrate (coco fiber) I added some moss to it. It’s just out in the open.

Yes, I've had mine since she was about 1/3". I had her in a 5oz condiment cup, which was plenty big, and not much larger than a 40 dram. I saw your post:

I think it's fine in there for another molt or 2 - you don't want to give tiny slings the ability to burrow away, otherwise it gets harder to feed them and they grow slower. That setup you have it in is fine, maybe let it dry out some and just wet the moss a couple times per week.

Thank you a lot. I’ll let her be. And the substrate is about half an inch. But I’ll keep the t crib cube on stand by. It’s still eating its cricket as I type.
