    Double check your temps one more time tonight. I'll plan on shipping them tomorrow. :)

    Yeah I told them all about how they are way better than crickets.
    They said they are going to sell them as Dubbie Bugs, so they don't call them roaches. :p

    Awesome. I'll pack them extra snug and ship them off after work. That will give the heat pack a few more hours. I'll send you an email here in a bit!!

    3skulls, I have 2 slings, a P. Metallica and a GBB. They ate last Monday, but showed no interest today when I tried to feed them. Should I be worried?

    Also, It seems that I have some mold starting to grow in their enclosures. I didn't have enough ventilation holes drilled. I've drilled more but the condensation is going away slowly. What suggestions would you give me?

    When was the last time the molted? Going off feed is always a good sign of them getting ready to molt.
    If their abdomen is nice and plump, I wouldn't worry at all.

    Most molds are pretty harmless, some can be nasty.
    If its easy to get in your enclosures and work. Maybe just wipe off the condensation for a few days. The added holes should help.
    Make sure you clean up all left over food and waste.

    You could also add some isopods or springtails. They make great clean up crews. (They can't live in a dryer substrate)

    If its growing on a hide, you can clean it but mold spores are everywhere.

    More airflow or a clean up crew.

    Hope that helps some.
