Thanks guys! I just took some pics of them, I'm uploading them on my computer now, so I will be putting them on shortly. I also have a question, when it comes time to feeding my slings, when I offer them the pinhead crickets if they don't take it right away or if they run away from it, is it okay if I leave the cricket in the enclosure with the slings, if I will be home to observe them all day today? Or let them get used to their new home and offer food another time?

Our B.smithi will run away from the pinheads and retreat to the top of his enclosure, but he does go down and 'hunt' them on his own time and terms. I'd say you'll be just fine :) If they don't take it within 24 hours, take it out and wait a day or two and try again. I've never had a pinhead last that long with any of our slings...even with our scaredy cat smithi :)

I have been picking up the crickets and will lightly drop it on them, I know that sounds weird but when I did that my LP "Legs" jumped right on it! It was awesome, then she walked away haha. Silly girl! Creature just runs and runs after it but doesn't really know what to do after that lol its so cute!
