Hi all,
Well, I had 2 things revealed to me last night. I thought that I'd lost my remaining parahybana. I hadn't seen it, and the holes aren't big enough to escape out of. I kept occasionally seeing a tiny, round hole, in the substrate. So, last night, I held the container very close to my eye. I shined a flashlight on it, and I saw a fuzzy leg. Not a withered, fuzzy leg, but a healthy looking leg. So, apparently, its alive. *phew*
On a sadder front, I think my tigerrump isn't alive. In the past, there have been times where I've been "feeding the substrate" with this one. No biggie, she's decided to burrow down. Last 2 times I've fed her, nothing was eaten. There is the option of digging her up, but I feel really bad doing that.
How often does everyone feed their slings? Since I've first started, I've fed mine twice a week. I want to draw a fine balance between feeding too much, and speeding up their lifespans, to feeding enough for growth.
Also, I have some cool deli dishes, that I wanted to convert for my RAPIDLY growing albopilosum slings. Question is, how do I put ventilation holes in them? Is a soldering iron too hot?
Thanks...
Peace,
Gillian
