I'm really excited for next week because my G. pulchripes is finally getting shipped to me. It's going to be a 1" sling and my first T in general. I also have a 16 oz deli cup for it to live in and some coconut fiber for substrate. I went over to Petsmart to see what I could use for the enclosure, but didn't find anything really useful. Any hide looked too big. I understand a hide isn't necessary for a sling that small, but I want to give the sling the best home possible
.
I also found flightless fruit flies in the store. Is that too small or just right for the 1" sling? I can find crickets no problem, but I want to make sure they're not too big. Another question about feedings: what should I feed the crickets/fruit flies to properly them?
And as a side note. I saw an Avic. avicularia and G. rosea in Petsmart. The Avic looked particularly sad in a kritter keeper. And it was only $25. I was tempted, but I know not to really trust the pets at Petsmart. Definitely don't take good care of them.
