Message: <blockquote data-quote="Samantha Rae" data-source="post: 43009" data-attributes="member: 3688">Hello there. This is my first thread, other than introductions that is. Next week I will be getting a G. Pulchripes (choco golden knee) sling. According to the breeder it will only be .5. Now, I would like help considering this will be my first sling. I only have a Juvenile G. Rosea other than that. I would like to know a few things. Below is a list of things I would like information about, preferably as detailed as possible. I hope this thread is allowed, if it is and people decide to help me out, thank you so much. I just fell in love with looking this species up and doing research and they seem amazing so I don't want to mess this up.<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">What size habitat? I know it's small but what do most of you guys use? and what not to use.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">How damp should I have the substrate? I know not soaking but I also don't want it to be too dry because I know the slings have to drink from the moisture.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">What should be included in the habitat. Other than coco-fiber substrate, should I put a decorative plant, a bottle cap of water, a stick?</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">How long can I keep the sling in this habitat before having to transfer.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Can I hold the sling?</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">How often do I feed it?</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">What do I feed it, if I can't find pinheaded crickets.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Any other information I didn't ask that I might need to know, please feel free to include it.</li> </ul>Again, thank you so much guys.</blockquote>
