[QUOTE="kormath, post: 83815, member: 4199"] agreed, although if you do happen to get a tiny sling like this (here we go again :D) get the Little Kenyan roaches. nymphs are about 2mm and full size is about 1/2", great alternative to fruit flies. Only problem is they will burrow, but not as bad or quick as the dubia roaches and such. My little bitty L. itabunae i'd have to guess is 2i when purchased, maybe 3i, i'm not sure what sizes they are at that stage and she was just a hair over 3/8" dls. She ate a little kenyan the first day, then burried herself away. Since then the little kenyans have molted and grown and aren't small enough, So i'm saving those to let them breed and hopefully start a colony. Wednesday i squished the head of a lat and put it by her burrow (she had the burrow entrance opened tuesday afternoon when i looked) and by the time i was done feed all the others the roach was nowhere in site. I removed the waterdish to see if it had squirmed under it in it's death spasms but nope, i'm positive she snuck out and drug the carcass into her burrow :) [/QUOTE]
