She's an inch and I just got her on 7/9/14...
I was expecting a more mature T so if any of you have more advice
On rearing a baby Mex Fireleg.
I successfully feed her today and I'm housing her in a small, well ventilated container but I'm terrified I'll do something wrong.

Welcome aboard!
You've got this! Just have a little faith and do some research here on our forums - you'll be all set.
Can you share a photo of her and her enclosure?

Welcome aboard! Raising a T from a sling to adult is definitely the way to go. Lots of help her if you need it.

You'll need to use damp substrate until he's about 2 inches long. Change it every once in a while as the moisture will encourage mold. Feed him a couple crickets a week, or more if you wish. Raising a baby T is really very easy. As babies they molt quite a bit more often than older Ts, so he should get bigger in no time. :) Good luck, feel free to ask any questions you might have…great place to go to for info.
