Start with a sling about an inch dls. They are large enough to not be delicate but still get to watch them grow. Don't let the slow growing put you off. Good choice.
What size enclosure would be good for an adult GBB? It's about 3 inches dls now and has outgrown it's old enclosure. Pics of your adult GBB enclosures?
Nice choices. All in my small collection as well. Out of those, my Chaco has grown the fastest. Went from an inch and a quarter to easily 3+ inches in eight months. I was shocked how much it grows with each molt. The other two are about one and half inches. The Curly Hair was only about a half...
If it's eating and drinking a is well. They set their own schedule. Arboreal's abdomens don't get as plump as terrestrials. Too much to carry while climbing.
Mine was about 1.25 inches when I got it. Pic in my profile is mine when I got it. Stayed in it's hide/burrow till it reached about 2 inches. Constantly roaming the enclosure and climbing the sides now. Doesn't run to it's hide now when I feed it either.
