hey Molitor how long have you had your sling? Only reason I ask is I kind of remember getting my "blue" right around the same time you got your's but mine seems to be growing alot slower :(

How many molts has it had with you? Mine only has had one that I know of (i found the molt torn up but i was able to discern little legs in it so I know for sure it molted at least once).

Only other thing is maybe your feeding it more? I only feed mine 2 small crickets a week, as I dont want to overfeed.

Ill try and get some pictures once it does come out of its little burrow!

i got her June 17 last year and she's molted either two or three times. i'm actually worried that i'm not feeding her enough, since the last time i was at Megapets, another "blue" from the same brood was at least an inch larger than her. then again, it's pretty safe to see that mine's due for a hell of a growth spurt.

i don't really pay too much attention to feeding schedules, but it's definitely infrequent, especially in the colder weather we've been having. the only reason she's so fat now is because i fed her a large cricket that i would usually give to my P. cancerides. since smalls, mediums and larges cost the same at the store i go to, i figure that doing so just saves money.

I'm lucky. My lividum sits out of her burrow like this all the time. If the lid is opened carefully she won't run and hide in her burrow. Enjoy!


Hey what kind of contaier are you using in this pic, I'd love to have some containers like that.
