[QUOTE="Kymura, post: 82996, member: 4072"] Congratulations and welcome to the board :) Give that baby a water cap. It won't drown. And a little moist is good but don't try to make things humid. A clean full water dish overflowed when filling a little bit will keep things nice for it. Soggy substrate is never good. B albopilosum burrow a lot as slings. They are like little bulldozers and very busy babies. Fun to watch and a perfect first T impo. Feed one prey item at a time at that size. If the T doesn't take it in a couple hours remove it! Crickets have been know to munch on a molting T. They are vulnerable in that state and crickets are opportunistic feeders. Try to feed crickets no larger then it's abdomen. Some slings are a little intimidated by larger prey. If you're unable to find any pre-killed is OK. Simply squeeze the cricket head with the tongs and drop it in there. The T will find it. If it doesn't eat it after a few hours remove it. Remains can mold and let's face it we don't want your little one eating rotten food. Could you post a picture of your enclosure? Easier to tell you if you need more ventilation or substrate with a visual ^.~ [/QUOTE]
