They will molt fine without heat mats or lights.

Nice Ts! I am' trying my hand raising a Mex. Red Knee sling for the first time!

I don't handle any of Ts for their's and my safety.

My Chaco Golden Knee is beautiful and a voracious eater!

Twice a week for mine maximum.

Stick to crickets.

Artificial plants are alot easier to take care of and still look good. Try craft stores, Walmart, and even dollar stores for good deals.

I luv the way they walk! I also think it's kinda cute when they kick hair or threat posture. It's just so hard to take them serious!

One of my 2 Rose-hairs is a burrower also! She dug out the coco substrate underneath her cork round and now has nice hide/burrow. On the other hand my other Rosie isn't enclined to burrow at all!

Peat is a good choice as it compacsts easier than coco. I like cork bark but plastic containers like plant pots are great for hides/burrows. You can find plastic containers in dollar stores and Walmart.

A good idea and i could see the burrowing aspects of more subsrate. I've been relying on housing and substrate with decent results.

Definately keep an eye out for mold. This can come from moisture, as it's balance between required moisture and and mold causing moisture. Just keep on top of your substrate and replace any moldy/questionable stuff. Water bowls are also easy to change if they get nasty. As far as carcasses it...

I stick to crickets with my Ts as super and mealworms burrow as soon as they hit the coco fiber! Also diet variety is Ok but certainly not necessary.

I have a beautiful female chaco golden knee! She has 10 gallon aquarium/tank with a hide, water dish, and coco fiber substrate. They are a great T and you should have no problem sexing.

Better safe than sorry! Ther are too many safe alternatives for decor. Try your local pet store for decor even aquarium decor can be cool. Artificial plants and decor can found at craft and even Dollar stores! Be creative but cautious!
