    Exactly what I paid for made it but the freebie(s) didn't. the guy has good reviews but my experience is less than spectacular. I won't be leaving feed back. Its not bad enough to leave negitive feed back but not up to my standards either. So you will get all of yours. I couldn't begin to tell you off the top of my head what all you are getting. Lol. Ill hit you with a pm when I get back to the house of what all you've got coming. I'm thinking its in the neighborhood of 75 slings though. Hope you still have plenty of pin heads lol. Everything but these chaco's ate the day before yesterday so you have a couple days before wording about them.

I had tried earlier this evening while my buddy was here to help me and to teach me how to do it. The male had no interest at that time. So I took the gamble and did it all by myself! I did it and didnt lose anyone! so friggin Stoked right now! My hearts pounding like I just chugged a BFC monster! lol. Anyone who clicks thanks on this post in the next 24 hours and is willing to pay shipping can have an az blonde sling from this potential sac free! Providing all goes well and I end up with healthy slings in a few months!



    Maybe answered this already, but what will the slings look like from this batch?? I'm gonna have to get my ducks in a row to sell tarantulas on my parents....and are these Old or New World??

    They are a new world species and they will be tiny and take forever to get any size to them! Very slow growers. My male is supposed to be 10 years old. Idk how true that is but that's what I was told when I purchased him. I've never actually seen a az blonde sling so I can't give an accurate description. Sorry I willl say that the adults and Hughes I have of them are more skidish than bitey. My big girl will flick hairs if I startle her but other than that they'd rather run than bite. I have yet to get a threat posture from any of them other than the MM.

    Too...many...abbreviations.....


    I think I got it though:P


    EDIT–Just looked at a care sheet which said they would make good beginner tarantulas....I like the color contrast on them too.

    Care sheet I looked up said 5-10 gallon aquarium...could I keep it in a clear plastic container with a screw-on lid...like a mixed nut container??

    Crystal Meph- you won't have to worry about adult sized containers for a bit (probably like 1year+) since most species grow pretty slow. If you decide on a species (and what your 2nd, 3rd, and 20th are gunna be ;) ) you definitely want then we could give you the most accurate info. Honestly, just pick something thats not known to be fast, and that's it, you'll be set. People say GBB's are more skittish and avic's can be finicky without the right humidity etc. etc., but from my experience they're all pretty darn easy as long as you exercise common sense and follow the care requirements/advice. Get something small too, so as it grows bigger you're already used to it. You don't want it so small that you're having to feed it roach legs or pinheads because thats a pain lol. I'd suggest around 0.75"-1" for whatever sling you get.

    Haha
    Who is this?

    Some species its going to be more like 4-5 years before you'll need something for an adult size.

    My B. smithi is going on 2 years and she is still in a 3"x5" tub and will be for close to another year.

    Im thinking that an Avicularia versicolor might be good...they look pretty
    Or a GGB...those are those blue and orange ones??

    Or both :P



    What is the cost on each of these?? My local pet store only has rose hairs (little ones the size of quarters), so I'm not familiar with pricing


    (and I'm sorry I sound kinda dumb....there are just soooo many cool colors and stuff I have a hard time deciding. I'm glad I hadn't really looked into BP morphs when I got my first one....I wouldn't have known what I wanted)

    I'll need to try and work on my folks a little bit more, but I think I will try and add one of these guys to my menagerie
