Typhochlaena seladonia 3i

I've ordered mine and it's being sent after Xmas. Yours is beautiful. How easy do you find it to care for?

I’ve had no problems but I’ve talked to a handful of people that have. I think building a trapdoor should be number 1 priority...they can survive without it but don’t seem to thrive without it. I also think fruit flies are way too small for feeders...so I used slightly bigger than pinhead crickets, prekilled at first. Temp is something no one talks about...it’s very warm all year and even at night where they are from. I probably won’t keep them warm their whole lives but as slings, in my opinion it’s important or at least has worked well for my 5 slings. I keep mine at 80ish during the day and in the low 70s at night. I keep a small water dish in their enclosure, tons of ventilation, slightly damp soil, mist their door once a week.

That’s all I can think of but feel free to reach out if you have any questions. I know it’s daunting to raise this species with little information and their reputation. I was a nervous wreck at first 😅
