Just came out so darned well...! And added some different fake plants in there. Darn I'm good!!... I think he's going to like the enclosure above better than a vial... It's like 3x's the size, and he has foilage albeit fake... To crawl amongst... And probably poop...
I have big ones of these, and had just rehoused my terrestrial slings to bigger containers, and stopped and thought... I bet I could make a really neat, and cute lil enclosure for him... Get him out of that awful lil vial... And this is what became of that thought.....
The container...

Okay I've Googled that species... Does it really get THAT purple?! Or is it likely someone photoshopping it...? Are they expensive? Was $5 a good deal for this lil guy???
Ok... So I'm a regular at the "unknowns" shelf at Ken The Bug Guys shop.... The shelf is where all the slings that got set aside and they forgot what the heck they were so they stick them on a shelf and sell them for $5 a piece... I've had pretty decent luck at that shelf.... But NOW I'M STUCK...

Why ank you! I've been keeping Pokies about six months now maybe less... I've still got my gravid(I'm pretty sure she's gravid) G. Rosea MONSTER @ 5 1/2" legspan, and her mate, a odd ball immature male curly hair, a couple different types of vinegaroons, and a handful of unknown spiderlings that...
She's been cohabitating w/ Link my male for 3 weeks or so, and every night TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP...... Well she's nestled in a nook under her hide and it's all webbed up... A sac be a brewing??? She molted around 3mos ago maybe more, hasn't gorged herself at all.... Went for the Dubia I threw...
