YAY! Swift is quikly becoming one of my favorite people! =D I get my new Slings the other day! A Versicolour, he replaced the Smithi that was DOA last time, and he threw in a beautiful C. Fasciatum! They are so sweet! The Versi is very fuzzy and very blue.
the Fasciatum is little, but fascinating to watch. And the Smithi is FAT with a voracious appetite. (He eats more than the Albopilosum..)
And I found the perfect container for the 1/2 to 3/4 inch slings. At Hobby Lobby, they sell six packs of clear acrylic or luicite cases for 1:64 scale cars. (Hot Wheels sized.) I sniped someone elses idea for cutting the top of the lid and hot gluing mesh over the opening. The set up even worked for the Versicolour! We tipped it on it's side, put some twigs in there, a bit of potting soil on the bottom, and a "trap door" to feed him on the side!
For anyone that has had any of these, which have you found to be obligate burrowers? The care sheets and books Inuleki has read haven't been much help in that department. We also have G. Aureostriatum, E. Campestratus, and B. ALbopilosum slings. (And an insane Rosea that burrows.
)
One last thing. I would love to post pictures of my babys, but I can't get good pictures. My digital won't zoom in for a good picture of the slings, and my 35mm doesn't have a zoom lense. How can I get pictures of my slings to turn out?
Sorry for the long post, but I'm really excited...
