I recently got two slings (GBB and a P irminia), and in short, how long should I wait before feeding them? I've seen other users on here preach to not feed T's too early after introducing them to a new home, instead allowing them to get accustomed to their new surroundings. Well, the P irminia...

Hi all, Would anybody happen to have a link handy to a video demonstration of the bag transfer method? I've poked around on the boards here and on YouTube with no luck. I have a vague feeling that I have seen such a video, but maybe I'm imagining it!

My 3 inch Pink Toe (Avicularia avicularia) just molted a few days ago, and I was wondering when is a good time to feed it again? It has plenty of water, but I don't know how long it takes the cuticle and fangs to harden and I don't want a cricket munching on my T. Also, the first time I feed it...
