Hey everybody! Super new to this, I just picked up a Versicolor sling as my first tarantula. Any advice is welcome!
My question is can it be a problem to feed a sling too large of prey?
I picked up some small mealworms as it was all I could find and dropped one into the enclosure and Bubbles (my Versicolor sling) immediately snatched it up and started to eat on it. It’s now been over 8 hours and he’s still working on the same mealworm. Hasn’t stopped eating or left it alone for any significant amount of time so I assume everything is okay, but I just wanted some more opinions.
Also my apartment stays around 69-72 Fahrenheit, is that too cold?
Thanks in advance!
