[QUOTE="LauraMI, post: 28393, member: 3071"] All's we'll....sorry if I wasted anyone's time. I kinda' did everything wrong w/ the sling because I didn't know better (the breeder said what I did was fine & that these guys are hardier than I'd think.). Substrate is sand/coir/soil mix; there are two, small stones for cover, and a few Sansevieria plugs for my aesthetic's sake. I believe the sling has a burrow along the stem into the soil of one of these. After moving the enclosure into a quieter room (I have a 1-year old boy), the sling emerged and seemed fairly active. Still worried it hadn't eaten and all I have here for it are 1/4" crickets (& it's a 1/4" spider), I followed some internet advice & had Husband kill a cricket. Dead-cricket is now totally missing & Apple's abdomen looks (to me) uncomfortably plump. :) Problem seems solved. Again, my apologies. [/QUOTE]
