We fed the GBB it's first meal 3 days after receiving it, a pinhead Lat, and the other two we watched eat before we bought them, both had strong prey instincts (out of the fee specimens we observed of each species) and the GBB was an opportunistic Hunter and waited for the prey to get close before it struck.All slings are around 3/4"-1" in size and are in Jamie-style sling enclosures that I modified by drilling airholes in the sides and using a solid top; except for the GBB which has the traditional screen-vented top.The G. rosea and B. vagans have both burrowed while the GBB has just started webbing (literally 3 or 4 strands) and appears to be the youngest/smallest of the three. It has been rather stationary and observed either perched on a leaf or near the top of the enclosure on the side wall.All 3 slings are in a micro climate tank to help keep temps in the low to mid 70s since it has been a touch cold here, but it's been warming up so I might remove them to get better air flow.I guess that is all I have to report for now but we are hopeful these 3 new species will become good display Ts and help eat all these roaches we are growing lolSent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk</blockquote>
