I like to transfer as little as possible.I put my slings into the largest possible container that I can. When you put a small sling int a larger container you really just need to make sure they are able to find their food, but not so big that they burrow and you can't find them. (This is a delicate balance IMHO) I usually use something that I can get roughly 5 molts out of. After that they go into a juvi sized container. This container is big enough that I can just place the sling container inside and the T can climb out on their own. Then their adult enclosures when they are about half to 2/3 grown. This way I can lessen the risk of bolting Ts when rehousing. Everyone finds a system that works best for them and this is just what I do.</blockquote>
