Well as some of you may know i had a P.Metallica and P.Murinus sling delivered today...cant find the cable to my digital camera so until i get a new one you will just have to put up with rubbish pics off my phone

Murinus on the left and Metallica on the right, flash and no flash





Thought id give them both a fake leaf as a bit of cover and decoration to keep them happy, although needless to say neither of them were happy or compliant when we moved them to their new pots

I did set up enclosures ready for their arrival but as usual i was no good at judging the size, and the ones i prepared earlier look a little too big at the moment

Think i will need to find an 'in-between' size enclosure for them asap

I would leave them a week myself, or 5 days. It's stressful for them having to be posted and they need to settle in for a few days

Hope this helps

I'd give the metallica a much taller enclosure mate. But nice spiders

__________________

Yeah well i did set up an enclosure for it that was about 9-10 inches tall, 3-4 inches deep and maybe 6 inches wide...but it looked HOOOGE compared to the little guy mind so decided not to put it in there just yet and leave it in the film pot as a very temporary thing.

I am crap at judging sizes until i actually see something so didnt reslise a 2cm sling would look so lost in there

Otherwise I'm going to have a rummage around later to see what other containers i can find mind...maybe an old jam jar or something with a few holes in the lid??

Yep jam jar would be perfect Stick some cork bark in, or some twigs so it has a place to web a hide for itself.. job done

Well im not actually sure if ive got any jam jars in the house thinking about it...i know ive got some pasta sauce in the cupboard mind and thats in pretty much the same type of jar.

Looks like i know what im having for tea tonight
