The woman in the shop said they are a size 3 :? there is also a pic of a molt which was inside the container i got it in, just so you can get an idea on the size, cant 'unravel it tho' to fragile. Thanks for the complimentsSarah_88 said:Taorchard 1987, that's a cute little bugger! How big is he/she, and how big are the crickets you've been using? I've been feeding halved adult crickets to my slings and decided to purchase a few (very) small crickets just to see if they'd go after them (cutting the heads off and maiming the back legs a little so they won't kick too much; with the halved adults I just cut the back legs off) apparently, they just don't care for them or they just aren't hungry! So much for my 'hard effort'

It sounds like you've got a hardy little eater there; my Brachypelma vagans is a real pig. The other slings are little dainty eaters compared to the B. vagans. This one just drags the cricket over to the water dish, sucks it dry and then throws it intaorchard1987 said:
I have to clean out that specific water dish very thoroughly every time I feed them. It is a riot though to go in my room to check on them and see the cricket propped against the water dish with the sling on top of it. Thanks for the pictures, it is a little tiny yet... but not quite as tiny as mine You're welcome. That cricket looks about the same size as the ones I've given to my own slings. Go figure, they won't go after the tiny crickets yet they'll go after the bigger, fatter halves!
I am going to the BTS show this year. The T's which i would really like to get my hands on are as follows;
