We all know how nooby the Grammar Nazi is.

But, how long do I need to wait after a molt to pop a mealworm in my slings vial? My curly molted while I was gone and I already put one in there. Should I take it out and wait?

I'd wait about a week after molting before feeding. Once the fangs turn black he's hardened up good.

I agree shelby, it probably wouldnt eat it anyway, and just stress your little T out,
so best to leave at least a week

Thanks for your help
He's about an inch now, should I take him out of his vial and rehouse him?



That's the vial inside of what the new enclosure will be:)

it looks a little too big to be honest, might be difficult for him to find his food
nice enclosure though when they do get big enough

thanks haha I'm so excited omg my babeh molted! :DDD

and thanks for your help:))

Well, slings will eat shortly after eating, I've had it happen a few times, and the first time I was freaking out thinking it would break a fang, but Ana told me not to worry and everything was fine.


I also agree on waiting a week and that they'll need another couple molts before they are ready for that new enclosure, but if they are 1", they should be rehoused in something bigger then those vials. But wait the week first and make sure they've had a meal before you rehouse them.

Haha.
Yeah my sling seems to have no issues.
I came in my room today and my Rosie was sitting at the top of her enclosure!
She lifted her giant booty all the way up the glass. Her substrate is dry, is there any other reason she'd be up there?

They just do that sometimes. Usually happens after changing substrates though.

Haha okay. It made me laugh

there is nothing more strange than a rosie......

yeah she does the weirdest things
she has taken to hiding behind her coconut house instead of inside it
shes so odd ._.

My rosies seem to enjoy sitting on top of their bark hides instead of inside them most of the time.

Roseas are very weird indeed. My MM is "normal" my immature male was normal till it's last molt. It's been seen sticking it's butt right up into the air, shortly after the molt, haven't seen it lately, but I'm always catching it in pokie stance.

My Rosie has been sitting literally an inch away from the cricket I put in there for over an hour. She's just sitting there staring at it hahah

You could literally be seeing that for months lol. Seems when these guys get full they are amazingly efficient at using the energy.

Haha that's interesting but annoying haha

Where did you get that container? it looks so perfect for slings. Does the divider goes all the way up without spacing? I may have to get some of those. they look nice.

I got it from good old wal mart haha it was like five dollars
there aren't any spaces or anything in the divider. (:

Sweet! I haven't checked out their pet section in a long time. I could set up my false widow spider and real black wididow side by side. Could get a few more for my T's.

Yeah I really like the side by side thing. I just put some tape on the bottom so the mealworms wouldn't go down there and that was about it haha
it's a great tank, I just wish my slings would molt once or twice so I could put them in there haha

looks like one of them things for betta fish so you can have two side by side till one croaks from always trying to kill the one on the other side.


My BIG rosea female, who doesn't user her hide at all moved a bit of dirt around yesterday, thought she was digging a bowl to lay her sac, but no, just wanted some place to sit I guess, hasn't moved off it.

my rosea has become strangely inactive, although she is dragging her
behind around now so that there are furrows in her tank,

I wish she would do something she has been gravid for 11 months now,
she will be molting before long....and the whole process will have to start again.

they really teach you the art of patience dont they!!!!

Haha aww.
My rosie is sitting in the corner of her enclosure
totally ignoring the cricket i put in there >:[ i guess i should take it out soon haha

I just bought a set up like mandi's for my black widow and false widow. I'll get pics up as soon as they get webs up. Will get some feeding shots then. They air slots are kind of big on the lid but can be taped off easilly. I don't think my widow was small enough to fit through but I was like better safe than sorry.
