[QUOTE="Bugzrule, post: 216252, member: 36747"] I'm not exactly sure what the dark spot is, its probably nothing but keep an eye it. As for feeding, with tiny slings you sometimes have to use pre-killed prey. Try cutting a mealworm in half, and put the back half (so the worm doesn't run away) in the enclosure and wait a day or two. I had to do this for my B.smithi sling at first, but after a molt it started taking live prey. If the prey isn't eaten within 48 hours, remove it. Its also completely possible that the T is in premolt, so try not to bother it to much. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
