Message: <blockquote data-quote="Isetta" data-source="post: 25319" data-attributes="member: 2775">I found some little plastic containers from walmart for 88cents each and picked up two of them. They are about 2"x3" and 2" tall. Altezza is about .5" to .75" but Isetta is about .5" max. We would be filling them about 1/3 full of substrate so they have plenty of room to burrow. Sabeth, you said to have a minimum of 3x their diagonal length and not to go too big, but what is "too big" for these guys? Isetta is the one I would be afraid it is too big for. We just fed them for the second time yesterday, Isetta eats the fruit flies almost instantly. Altezza on the other hand prefers to web them up and let them struggle for a little while before eating them. Its pretty entertaining. We're also making sure that the substrate stays a little bit moist but not "wet". They both seem to be happy <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
