eaten by a worm! was created by Maxwell
I recently got 4 P.cambridgei slings and put them in smallish glass jars. 3 days ago i checked on them and it appears that one of them had molted and i expected all of them would molt soon.
Today one of them was gone and as I looked for it I noticed I had somehow gotten a superworm that is bigger than the sling in there. it's been living in the container and i couldn't help but suspect it of eating the chevron while it was vulnerable.
I also found a chevron leg in the container, but no other sign of it. :angry:
So just thought i'd post this on here to warn people to be careful not to house big worms with your slings.

Did you look through the substrate, as the P. cambridgei tend to burrow?
