I've just got a few P.murinus slings.At the moment I'm keeping them in cricket tubs.
The slings are about 25mm so I was wondering if these containers will do.
The red colour form has already started building an arboreal web while the true colour form has built a terrestrial hidey.I also got as C.bechuanicus which has built a terrestrial hidey.
So will it be alright to keep them in cricket tubs until they are a bit bigger,maybe small juve's?
I would appreciate any advice.I seem to get varied opinions on the various care sheets.
Cheers Mike.:)

I'm sure it's absolutely fine. How big are the cricket tubs?

They'll be fine in there for a while, but they're not very pretty :( They can be pretty hard to stop drying out but for these little guys that's not really a problem.

They're big enough now to go into small critter keepers. I'm sure you can get your hands on those over there. A small critter keeper will be large enough until they grow quite a bit.

I've been keeping my new slings in baseball card holders:



They are about 3"x4". My .75" (19mm) brachy emilia is in the corner chomping a cricket. They are clear and stackable if you put footpads on the bottom and a lot cheaper than critter keepers.
