howdy.
so i have always found this species to be interesting, so i had an opportunity to buy a sling, and i did!
it is 2.5 inches wide, rather large sling, however i have had it for just over a month now and it will not eat.
i know this is probably not much as my G. rosea i kept for 9 years would some times go 2 months between meals, however i was under the impression that T. blondi had a very large appetite. and i would assume a growing spider would need lots of food because you cant spontaneously generate mass.
my other slings are smaller then a finger nail but they eat like they are from chicago.
so far i have been keeping the T. Blondi in a very very humid environment as a blondi breeder told me the best way to keep this species is to think of them as a swamp species do to thier humidity requirement so they dont have trouble molting.
i have attempted to feed it pre-killed super worms and crickets as well as live food of the same things.
should i switch feeders?
