H. lividum sling care??
hi guys i've just ordered a H.lividum sling from the spider shop and was just wondering the basic care, before ppl start shouting at me i do keep T's and i've a big ol' female OBT so im used to the speed and aggression but this will be my first sling as all my other T's have been juve's or adults when ive bought them, main Q's are...
what to feed? how often to feed? arboreal or terrestial pot? cheers in advance guys!!

You want a fossorial set up . My H.Lividum slings have about 3'' of substrate in which to dig .The only things they've got in their tubs are a bottle cap for a water bowl and a leaf under which they could hide until they settle into their new home .
As for food , fruit flies and bean weevils are good if it's a small sling , if it's bigger you want small or medium crickets .

if you use ebay fruit flies, Books, Comics Magazines, Home Garden items at low prices on eBay.co.uk

My local petshop gets cultures in , but you can attract them if you leave fruit/puree out for a few days . If you buy the culture you may have to wait a few days for the fruit flies to mature but in a few days you're inundated with them .

Have a word with a local petshop that sells live food . They should be able to get a fruit fly culture in .
