Got mine today. Thanks again, Ryan. I have too many slings for me to drift away from the reliable deli cups with damp peat moss. I do put faster species like OBT's in larger than normal cups so I can have time to put the food in and close the lid before he gets any ideas.
The only time that I almost crapped myself was with a juvenile OBT. I am much wiser and more familiar with them now.

My OBT's first clutch has just turned 2nd instar. When they are eating well I will be selling.... (40 are already spoken for, 99 left!) I had housed two together from the start and noticed last night that one had webbed itself in and away from the other. The one outside of the webbing was always running around almost nervous like. Last night I took the nervous one out and gave him his own digs.

I will be eager to see how those of you who do communal set-ups make out. Please post how progress goes! If you show success I will do the same with my MF's second clutch. She is with her second sac right now! :D

T life is so exciting!!! {D

I got mine too, had no problem getting them into their new homes, they seemed happy to stretch their legs. They've already started webbing and moving dirt. So now I have 5 of these little monsters:

Mines aren't doing anything, still in the same spot I put them this morning, not stretch out of anything. =/

did you try feeding them? After feeding all mine they started webbing and stretching out.

Hmm, I didn't even think about feeding them. I thought you let them get use to there new homes first?
well mine didn't have any problem eating the first day. I guess they were hungry. I would try it. Feed them a cut up adult cricket or a small baby cricket.

It's dark now, I don't think I can catch anything. I'll do it tomorrow morning
