    New Fireleg sling behavior?

    Lmfao. I've squeezed a couple worms heads on the past out of frustration. Kept spinning like a crocodile /alligator, along with spraying its liquid all over myself and my bearded dragons. My T is definitely in pre molt because she bolted away from the Dubia yesterday. She molted 3 weeks ago...

    New Fireleg sling behavior?

    Ok great. I can definitely do that. I think then I don't need to worry about my T getting injured by a frantic roach. The worst feeder I use is Superworms. They squirm around so damn much to a point where they are spinning like crazy :) LOL Especially when using tongs. Other than that, they...

    New Fireleg sling behavior?

    It's all good. Thanks for your reply. I held off feeding for a week after the molt and the moment I dropped a cricket into the enclosure my T pounced onto it. It took my T about 3.5hrs to finish the first cricket and then again with the second cricket. I dropped in a tiny Dubia Roach prior...

    How long do I have to wait until I feed my B. albicep sling?

    Just what I was looking for. My Fireleg sling had its first molt on Saturday afternoon. I got to witness it first hand and I'm still amazed. I was wondering how long to hold off on feeding, and this post answered my question. I think I'll attempt to feed it this Saturday, so 1-week after the...

    New Fireleg sling behavior?

    Well, my T dug a new burrow directly up against the glass enclosure. This allowed me to always locate it and also offered the best seat in the house to witness it's first molt. Incredible to see it in action and the result is amazing. The colors are now coming through and the whole structure of...

    Fair well lil buddy... Unfortunately but expected loss... :(

    A loss is always the hardest thing to go through. I applaud you on your strength and your passion for the T. Does it have a name? RIP little guy!

    Possible DKS?

    Just to clarify, this is a male or a female? Based on your original post. I would assume molting, but if it's been like that even after a molt, then I'd research the species a bit more to find anything that you can relate to. Best of luck and keep us informed

    New Fireleg sling behavior?

    Hi everyone. Well, it's now been 4 days since I located my sling and it has been really busy with landscaping. It's now digging up a huge trench behind the rock and it can be seen in its part-burrow at the moment. Based on some threads I've been reading, I should not provide so much substrate...

    Just a picture of my sling after locating it yesterday. All is well and it's grown ever so slightly

    New Fireleg sling behavior?

    I just had to do a welfare check. I've had my sling in its burrow for 85% of the time since I bought it. I was told that it's best to leave it alone but if I'm genuinely concerned about her life, then I should just locate her. I did locate her under an inch of the substrate, in the far corner...

    New Fireleg sling behavior?

    Hi everyone, This is just an update on my T and nothing much to update on. My T hasn't come out yet and I can confirm that the entrance to her burrow is now only about 30% covered up which allows me to shine a light inside. It's been constructed really nicely and it snakes around the corner...

    New Fireleg sling behavior?

    Thanks for the encouraging feedback. I've always been able to just look at the current state of my beardies and their environment, and have gone on my instinct to provide more water, food, heat, light etc. The same applies to my T. I looked at the substrate and it seemed to be drying up, so I...

    try to get a photo of the underbelly of the T, to make it easier for gender identification.
