B.Auratum sling..

[sym]

Hi guys/girls.
So I've had my B.Auratum sling now for a few weeks. It's not eaten yet so I believe its in premoult. It's killed a few pin heads but not eaten them.
I have 7 T's now and this little sling is always sitting out in his/hers enclosure.. I hope as it grows it will stay out in the open like it does now ..

Thanks for stopping by

If it has a fat abdomen, don't worry about it eating, it may be premolt.

My 4.25"-4.5" female is always out and about. They can have pretty long premolt periods

Hi poec54.
Yes his/hers abdomen is big and slightly black but not shiny yet . Can't wait to see some colour. Long way off yet as its only 1cm DSL .

@MatthewM1 . He/she is my smallest sling and is always sat out in the open. He/she only runs for cover when I need to mist. Look forward to it growing. Do they have the same growth rate as a B.Emlia?

Not sure I havent kept any of those yet. I recieved mine at around 1" september '13, and is 4.25"-4.5" now.

Checked on the Auratum sling last night. He/she has dug down to the bottom of its cup and sealed off the entrance..
