I am still really new at T keeping. I also have a small A.Chalcodes (though not quite as small as yours). He/she is really fickle and won't eat for weeks. In violation of only keeping a prey item in the enclosure for 24 hours I have taken to leaving a very small cricket in her cage so she...

I ordered a small roll of black vinyl static cling that sticks to glass and look nicer. When it comes in I will post up some pics. I have been told that I am just flat crazy to begin with so sitting down with some clay while watching TV isn't much of a stretch. I tend to get a bit carried away...
