[QUOTE="Rs50matt, post: 141581, member: 27872"] so I thought I'd go through all my husbandry and how I keep Ts to make sure I hadn't made any crucial mistakes and as it turns out I had. I like to research a species before I get it but I got 2 h himalayana slings in a mystery box and I had no idea how to keep them. When I recieved them I quickly searched the web and found a few different posts and links saying to keep them dry and they like to burrow. I keep a waterdish in all my enclosures so they did have water available but I found out today after looking through again that they like it damp.( the guy who posted this attatched a photo of a successful egg sac so that's why I concidered this a more reliable source) I wanted to change the substrate completely and also make sure I wasn't maintaining 2 dead slings so had to dig them up. Was expecting 2 dead slings but they were very much alive. Holy hell they were fast. Anyway. Long story short they're all sorted and now hopefully receiving the correct are needed. Anyone had similar experiences? I could imagine some of the more experienced keepers have had to adjust husbandry a few times now forums and online caresheets are available in seconds. [/QUOTE]
