[QUOTE="Andee, post: 120379, member: 26964"] I just recently bought two slings (a little over an inch) on I think thursday or something. They should be here on monday if all goes well. I have currently made some temporary enclosures, I have planned to update in a month or two if I can't find any good five gallon terrariums at the expo. I plan to buy 4-5 more later on, but two is currently fine. I have run a lot of my care by the breeder and my plans to cause breeding and sac dropping and he agrees with all I have thought out and plan to do. I of course am aware I will have to wait several years before these guys are close to breedable size, but I am in no rush and would rather go safe and slow. I plan to get heating for them so I can do proper temp drops when needed. Here's the enclosures so far, not complicated but enough that they should feel comfortable and I should be able to observe when needed. [ATTACH=full]25520[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]25521[/ATTACH] I wanted good airflow because of the high humidity that will be kept. In my opinion as long as there is good airflow and air isn't stagnant they should be fine with higher humidity than most people do ^^ and I will keep the substrate damp below a dried top layer so they can bury if needed <3 The only thing I am worried about is it not being big enough.
