Hello all.
I'm very excited - I picked up my first sling on Friday (G. pulchra)... so looking forward to watching her grow. (Is there a term for unsexed spiders? I don't really want to call her an it...)
I also picked up a Selenocosmia (Sarina Whistling) - and this is where I have some questions... She has a body size of approx 5cm. so quite small and is currently in a large plastic tupperware cube (approx 20cm each way), just under half filled with substrate. The cube she is in is a mass of webs... She's burrowed slightly, but not deep - sort of made a crater in the substrate rather than a hole. I've setup another tank for her - larger than the one she is in ... but I'm a little reluctant to break through the webs to coax her out just yet. Does anyone have any suggestions on this species so I can ensure the new tank is setup correctly? .. I have searched the boards and found very little.
Thanks
