I have three L.para slings, they have molted a couple of times now and I think there leg span must be around the inch mark. I little pots I have them in are of a slightly larger diameter (not much though) At the moment they have just molted and there legs appear to be very pale in colour.
* Am I going along the right lines when I say that I am going to put them in slightly larger pots?
* As for feeding, I find this difficult as I dont always get tiny crickets. I have put in squashed crickets before and there have been times when the slings appear to eat and other times when I have removed the crickets. I am aware that T's prefer live food. I have also put smallish crickets in the pots and the slings have scarpered up the pots to get away. I am thinking about pulling the legs off of my smallish crickets to give the slings a fighting chance as well as getting live (if somewhat disabled) food. Is this a goodish idea, as I cant seem to get very small crickets?
*Also someone posted up a reply about feeding maggots to slings, am I right in saying I get them from the tackkle shop, and are wax worms too big?
I just want to keep myself right. I have probobly asked similar questions. But once again I would like to hear other members experience.
