One of these guys is good reason. MM King Baboon. Raised from a sling. Most stressful sling I've raised to date! Will disappear down a hole and NOT come back up. Will stay down and literally starve themselves to death! Way I found around this, some may disagree, I put mealworms in and let them dig. Kings will find and eat them! Hardly any beetles and frankly don't remember any at all! When my King Juvie resurfaced finally it was super fat! Seemed to work for me at least. Happy Spoodering!!

[QUOTE="Tarantula Trooper, post: 236354, member: 37740"] One of these guys is good reason. MM King Baboon. Raised from a sling. Most stressful sling I've raised to date! Will disappear down a hole and NOT come back up. Will stay down and literally starve themselves to death! Way I found around this, some may disagree, I put mealworms in and let them dig. Kings will find and eat them! Hardly any beetles and frankly don't remember any at all! When my King Juvie resurfaced finally it was super fat! Seemed to work for me at least. Happy Spoodering!!
