Are good ones. There are many others. I got my rosie sling for free when I bought an acanthoscuria geniculata from krazy 8s. I assume what you are looking for is haplopelma lividium (cobalt blue). I haven't checked either of the above catalogs recently, but I know they both have had them.

Re: "Handleable" Tarantulas?
Sorry to hijack but I keep seeing this "sling" thing... Is that slang for a male T or is that something altogether different... Also I had 2 rosies when I was younger, the female was a dream to hold and could readily be picked up, but the male was the complete opposite! So who knows I guess...
Anyone know about the handling characteristics of the sweet-looking blue ones from Singapore? Sorry I don't even know the common name, let alone the scientific!

You're standing in the pet store checkout line with your purchase in hand & the person behind you says "Oh, they're so cute! Do they make good pets?" and you reply, "These? Hmmm. Actually, I have no idea...I never thought about that..."

I think you are talking about cyriopagopus sp. singapore blue. The are defensive/aggressive from what I understand, and definitely not for handling.

Re: "Handleable" Tarantulas?
Ahh... Thanks for clearing that up Bodar... I probably wouldn't have figured that out anytime soon!
ErikH - Thanks, I think that's it... They get almost dinner plate size (legs not body) right? They look awesome!! So they probably are bad for handling... It seems like the best looking (most exotic, I guess) animals usually don't make good pets, as a general rule.

Re: "Handleable" Tarantulas?
Anyone have any experience with Avicularia mettallica (metallic pinktoe)?
Docile? Fast?

I don't have any experience with any avics, but I understand they are docile and fast, just like most avics.
