Today I got my three obt slings. And while getting one of them into its new cage it darted out. It took a good 10 min to find her. You can never get enough of this sp ;P . I'll post pics later. They're so tiny.

Best pic I could get before it would dart out the deli cup.

I got mine today, too. #1 went smoothly, #2 decided to take a sprint up my arm, and #3 went smoothly. Sounds like we both got some bonding time in:D

fast little buggers aren't they!

These always seem to want to run. Hey, the other day I was rehousing some slings and I discovered a maybe useful trick. I usually use some loose sphagnum moss in my sling enclosures as it holds water nice and gives them a little something to hide under. One of the slings I was working with made a run for it, encountered a pile of sphagnum on the table and dove in. It was really easy to move a deli cup right up next to where it stopped, and one paint brush nudge and it went right in the cup. So, I made a ring of sphagnum around the work area, and whenever a sling decided to dart, it only went as far as the moss and stopped. Much easier than trying to get them out from underneath the table! Hope this helps.

Didn't get mine today... the mail usually delivers ultra-early though, so they'll probably show up tomorrow.

Are you trying them communally? Show us a pic of how you set the container up if you did anything special! Good luck.
