Have a suntiger sling.was in premolt bury itself. Sling is only about 1/2". Havent seen since the 3rd of this month. I'll throw a roach in to see if it will come out to eat. But havent had any luck since when i check back the roach is still there. Have done that on a hour, then even left the rouch in over night. Its ok if it wants to hide. I just want to know its alive and ok. I know some older Ts will fast. How long will a sling put off eating?

All babies, even arboreals, and especially that one, are hiders. If she gets comfy down there, you'll be lucky to see her when she pushes a molt out. Then she'll start extending the tunnel upwards, usually diagonally against the wall, with full dirt curtains so you cant see in it. You'll have good opportunities to see her in the evening. Drop the roach where she has to come out after it. :)

Yeah she made good i have no idea where she is in the dram. Most all the other Ts tunneled on the sides. My lp buried itself . But i can see it on the bottom.;) but as for the suntiger i search for a glimpse of something. It is staying well hidden. A feeling it is going to be a pain in the butt when its older. :confused:
