Hi!
I am going to buy a GBB spiderling, however I like to do as much research as possible before I adopt a new species/in this case a spiderling for the first time aswell :eek:

I want some tips on keeping a spiderling, housing/feeding etc. As I said,this is the first time i'm getting a spiderling, so I want as much information as possible, to ensure the spiders health, safety and well being, aswell as mine! Is there anything I should know about the GBB's before I get one?
I appreciate all kind of information on keeping a spiderling or a GBB in general!
If this is in the wrong section i'm sorry :( Admin feel free to move it if that's the case ;)
:T::T::T:

humidity, 60/65 (keep slightly higher for slings)
leg span, 15cm

keeping slings is basicaly the same as keeping adult Ts, just up the hummidty a little bit more & pre kill feeders & thats the only diffrence !!!

Thank you! Do you know what size terrarium I should house it in? Please don't use gallon as measurement though, that tells me nothing lol :p We don't use "gallon" where I am from :)
