So this will be my first critter in about thirty years & the first I had was a mature spider. What are the ins & outs & difficulties of starting with a sling. Red knee is what I’m after. Thnx.
What you feeding the 1/2?I started with a 4” A. Seemani and then got a 1/2” B. Hamorii. I was super nervous due to her size but it was awesome watching her change with each molt. When she finally got her colors completely I felt super accomplished. She’s about 3” now and all over the place in her enclosure. I’ve had her about 4 years. I think as long as you’re careful with feeding making sure you don’t try to feed it anything alive that could hurt it being small it’s not a terrible idea to start off with a sling.
Also what size enclosure for a sling 1-1/2?I started with a 4” A. Seemani and then got a 1/2” B. Hamorii. I was super nervous due to her size but it was awesome watching her change with each molt.

Pre killed crickets or pieces of crickets, or pieces of super worms. I also get flightless fruit flies for the really small ones.What you feeding the 1/2?
I believe they are called dram viles or something along those lines. They’re these small round containers that I get slings in wish I have them shipped.Also what size enclosure for a sling 1-1/2?
