Message: <blockquote data-quote="Thanatos" data-source="post: 18433" data-attributes="member: 1116">Hi I just got my first Sling TODAY. I have questions as she is a bit smaller than I thought. Initially I had a 10gal set up, but have since rehomed her to a 2 cup tupperware container. She is about the size of my thumb nail so about 1/2-3/4 inch(not fully spread).For the substrate i am useing the coconut dirt(best texture description) I wet it till it felt just dampish or barely wet(about 2Tbs water for 1C sub), lightly compress it and made a small divot with a pencil at the side,  plenty of lid holes, no water dish, in a 72-81F area. I tried feeding, but I think shipping was rough(I am in Pa it was cold today 30ish) so not interested in food.She was cold on arrival, but perked up(moved to hidey hole) shortly after getting into the big tank.Please let me know if I need to adjust anything.  PS Mexican Redknee</blockquote>
