Got this little booger today :biggrin: Been wanting a chromatopelma cyaneopubescens for a while and I'm smitten already. Not sure how many molts it has been through. It can fit on a quarter. I tried measuring or guestamating lol, and her body length is a tad over a 1/2 inch. Crappy photo though.
They said it was due for a feeding so I fed a pinhead cricket when I got home. Practically grabbed it in mid air lol! I fed one more after it was done with the first and same thing. I've never raised slings before though. I have been doing some research but wanted some opinions on feeding. I know they eat quite a bit and i would like to get her/him a little bigger sooner than later. How many at a time should I feed it? I'm not talking dumping a bunch in there obviously but maybe offer 2 or 3 per feeding but do it one at a time. Or should I just offer a bit bigger dead cricket? I don't want to power feed per se but I want to be somewhere in the middle until it gets a little bigger, then go on a more stable diet. The pinheads are tiny and if she left boluses then I can't find them lol.. I also want to try some cut up meal worms.
