[QUOTE="Dave Jay, post: 126388, member: 27677"] [ATTACH=full]28138[/ATTACH] The species I chose was Phlogius sp. 'stents' , I ordered 5 as after researching they seemed like a good choice to breed for a beginner. I also ordered a Selenotypus plumipes 'northern territory'. The next order will be 6 Selenotypus sp.2 as there is a special 6 for $50, I may just grow them and sell the majority at a larger size. They will likely be very small slings, but I feel the experience will do me good. The advice I was given for these species to use a 50/50 mix of coir peat /sand , I chose to make it with slightly more peat , 60/40 peat/sand as I find this works well with some of my scorpions, and thought that as they are slings more peat might be better. I was advised to use a deep substrate as they are burrowers, but also to include anchor points as some will use them. Feedback on these tanks was that I should have added more substrate ,which I will when I set more up. Basically, after hearing all the stories about how fast they are, and that they might bolt and escape, I didn't want the substrate too close to the top! I used small plastic plants and plastic bark as decor to avoid any problems with mould or fungus on wood. [/QUOTE]
