New arrival - my first T

[blacktara]

A brockelhursti - about 1.5"

Thanks Botar!

Here's two pics - the little guy was all over a cricket I threw into his new home. Dragged it into his hide and is contentedly chowing down as we speak

Congrats on T.

You may want to consider ditching the wood chips, though, and replacing it with peat moss or the like.

Ok

I can do that - any reason that would be better? This stuff is called "jungle earth". I figured he could dig in it if he was so inclined

i would have to agree with becca on this one, peat moss would be much better for burrowing purposes and actually all around for that matter
congrats on the T looks great

Any substrate with wood chips is bad becasue wood has natural oils that can harm your T's, and using hard pointy sharp chips also gives your T a higher risk of hurting itself on a pointy edge. Also, softer subsrate probably just feels better to walk on. Nice looking sling BTW!

Cute spider. When do you buy another ?

Congrats on the T. She (I'm being optimistic for you) is beautiful.

I'm in the same boat. I just got my first T last weekend and now I feel this huge compulsion to collect collect collect!!!

Yeah I would have to agree with everyone peat moss is I think the best to use for burrowing T's. maybe something for your T to hide under and burrow as well. congrats on the T! keep going with more.
