I'm also getting a 1 1/2 inch red rump and will keep it in a critter keeper then move it into a Rubbermaid for its final enclosure when it's maybe 2 1/2
To answer the question in your first post, you can pre-kill feeders and they'll scavenge on them. Cricket legs may work for that. I feed my small slings bean beetles, though not everyone has those. There are roach species with nymphs small enough to feed a T that size. It's a bit big for fruit flies. I'd just pre-kill and let it scavenge.I'm also getting a 1 1/2 inch red rump and will keep it in a critter keeper then move it into a Rubbermaid for its final enclosure when it's maybe 2 1/2
Keep it in a 20 dram vial or a small deli cup. Finding housing for small slings is easier than finding housing for adults IMO.But not sure on the 1/3 inch sling
I've never heard of that common name. You learn something new every day. Just a little tip, use scientific names always. Common names vary, and most of us don't know them.Brachypalma vagan aka Mexican red rump
Also, I have a 3/4 inch L. parahybana sling and a 3" B. vagans. When I get the opportunity, would you like to see how I house them?Brachypalma vagan aka Mexican red rump
Neither. 10 gallon is perfect.Would a 20 gallon tank be big enough for it when it's an adult or will I need a 40 gal
I'll rate that "agree" because it's true, but perhaps the OP wants it a bit bigger for some decorating or something else. This is a big species too... I don't think a 10 gallon would hurt.a 5g is plenty big for an adult.
Sure.Also, I have a 3/4 inch L. parahybana sling and a 3" B. vagans. When I get the opportunity, would you like to see how I house them?
The 5.5 gallons Petsmart sells are 16" L x 8" W x 10" H as described by their website. This is a bit tiny for this species, I will admit, and they're won't be much room for anything more than a hide and a water dish. It's large enough, but jsut barelyAnd I don't see how a 5 gallon can house a 8+ inch spider
Pictures incoming...Sure.
Rubbermaids are nice because they're stackable. This hobby gets addictive quick... Better start moving in the shelves.I'm already going to have to buy a storage shelf system by sterlite for all my ts haha. 14 inches in depth 36 inches wide and like 60 inches tall I can store about two of my Rubbermaid enclosures on one shelf
