My lasiodora parahybana has arrived. Logan my son has decided to call it "Fly" She/He is very active, getting used to the new surroundings. I'll feed the sling tomorrow.

Good name. I wonder what is it with you Welsh folks and spiders? Jen reckons it's because I call her my little Welsh Witch.

I've secured it under the soil and it seems to be happy. Hasn't come out since. Going to try it with a micro cricket on Friday.

Anything like mine, the spider has now buried itself, and the cricket is laughing running around on the outside

Nice name, but be careful not to give it any flies that may have been in contact with insecticide sprays.

They forgot to pack some in the box for me. Fly will have it's feed at least once a day to encourage fast growth and moult. Will have to keep an eye on that abdomen though, don't want it getting bigger than the whole body Surprised on how much you can learn from the net. Can't wait to see what it looks like in a few months

Fly escaped last night through the very very tiny ventilation hole I made. I had to move him/her to a larger container.
I've ordered another last night, a juvenile, between 4-7cm.

do you use a heat mat that heats the air or one of them that just heats the mat. The one that heats the air is for like tortoises and the one that heats the mat is used for other animals.
