Well you're not going to die! A visit to the ER wouldn't be a bad idea though. Check the Bite Reports...

apples... oranges...

Congrats on your new T. One inch is a nice size. Not too small, but plenty small enough to enjoy watching it grow.

Thank you ill post a pic once it comes out to say hi. I just put it in its new encloser bet its pretty stressed right now cause of the move.

How long tell it will eat or will it just eat right away?

 

[PhobeToPhile]

I think the standard is to give it at least a week to adjust before trying to feed it.

 

[Tym Hollerup]

do you have a obt?

I have 4. I wouldn't feed it for about 5-7 days or so. Try a mealworm or a pinhead cricket when you do. For slings I keep them in deli containers and just crack the lid when I feed. Adults you just toss em in.

 

[krazy888]

ok thank you all for your help! It has helped me out alot!

Awwww, ain't it cute!

I guess I'm impatient, I always feed my newbies within the first 24 hours. If they don't take it right away, I remove the prey item. I haven't had any turn down a meal yet.

Looks like a nice set up, lots of stuff for it to web to. Does it have room in substrate to burrow, too?
