    Sling care

    Slings that small need dram vials. Normal substrate with a dab of some sphagnum. Water with eye dropper, ever so light atomized mist bottle (one that creates a fine fog mist - found on Amazon), a chopped mealworm piece, fresh cricket leg, pinhead cricket (prefer fresh killed). Remove bolus'.

    Spider-phobia

    Thanks. Yesterday I had a Pink Toe Guyana crawling on my hands and when it went to my palm, I cupped it with the other hand over it for a few minutes so my wife could help me rehouse it.

    Condo Living Tarantula Enclosure

    So, I was thinking about purchasing a Repti Zoo 10 gal, 20x12x10 enclosure and adding an inside clear plexiglass divider or possibly two plexiglass dividers and then housing two or three specimens' side by side. I'd probably drill ventilation holes in them. Any suggestions or thoughts on good...
