Rear horn baboon sling

[NukaMedia Exotics]

Looks due for a molt. However 16oz deli cup would be best for a rehouse. Fill it up with substrate most of the way because they like to burrow, keep a water bottle cap water dish full and mist a corner of the enclosure around the the water dish (basically overflow it a bit).

thank you and it molted today surprisedly this my first sling that why I’m scared and don’t know what to do when it said 1inch i really didn’t think it will be that small but it doing good how long should I wait for it to harden up so I can feed it again?

slings harden up fast. But wait 3-5 days. A good gauge is when it hardens up the fangs will turn black

just to be clear, that sling CAN escape through the vents on that enclosure. I know from experience

If like me you also remove the handles from the lids then anything shy of 2 inches can escape through the holes underneath*.

If it's an inch then wait at least 5 days.

Yeah, when I first got into the hobby, I couldn’t believe what these spiders can squeeze through. My GBB was an escape artist.

I just wanna know how much should I mist

how many times to feed it

Beginner - with an OLD WORD- yes this never happens ever

Never mist it, use dish

Feed it whenever it's hungry

Research the animals you buy before owning them

This is an easy OW species to raise. They are like rocks, if you can't keep this one alive, quit Ts and buy a rock.

You only feed Ts when their fangs are black, otherwise they may die w/out going into detail.

i have no idea why people are so insistent on giving the advice of waiting to see black fangs before they feed again.

For tiny slings especially, that is only easy to do for arboreals or if you're lucky and a terrestrial climbs on the sides for a good look, which is even less likely post molt.

I feed all my spiders 10-14 days after molting to be on the safe side. Missing one or two meals max will do absolutley nothing. Just have water available at all times.

 

[fatalgecko]

That’s effective as well. Don’t think everyone is insistent. Just gives someone a visual que that is an ease of mind? Everyone has their own ways to help them gauge things. .

 

[Swagg]

It’s mind boggling how little education/thought some people put into caring for another living creature.

That’s why they are here homie.
