Could the Worm be too big?

[cold blood]

The slings are 1/2" and 3/4" but I could fit a cap into each of their enclosures

if a cap fits, go ahead and use it.

Also I know this is off topic but not to start a new thread....a local breeder has a species im interested in. The A. geniculata we spoke about last night!....he has 1 left but says it is in premolt. Its only a 15 min drive away but would obviously need rehousing. How do you feel about that?

Thats not really a concern....i wouldnt ship it, but to pick it up shouldnt be an issue at all....just hold the enclosure for the short drive....pre molt doesnt mean they explode if theyre moved...lol.

I'm not so sure about that. My G. pulchra is in premolt and I'm almost positive he will explode if I try to move him.

Thank you very much for your everlasting advice! I assure you it will not go to waste as every question adds to my repertoire of knowledge. I removed the worm, and will try with a cricket in another couple days. I appreciate everything you do for this forum Viper!

Thank you @CJJon as well!!

Anytime-- some Ts just don't go for mealworms, highly individual.

I actually don't have water bowls In either of their containers. I was told that slings this small just need damp enclosures. I've even looked it up here on the forum. Is that old/unreliable info or is it a preference?

Well it ends up being preference. Here's the deal, I always provide a dish. It doesn't take long for a tiny sling to dehydrate.Providing one can't hurt.

Hahah no, not at all. He's whatever happens to come out at the the moment I'm typing. He's only about 3" DLS, maybe smaller. Just a juvie.
