Aye, all slings. I like to raise them 28 in total now

Picked up a juvenile B boehmei today, looking a little dark and chunky, expecting pre molt soon. Super excited to add more to the Brachypelma genus!

 

[Cemykay]

2 Avicularia geroldi,
1 Avicularia purpurea
1 Psalmopoeus ecclesiasticus

 

[spideyspinneret78]

Juvenile female P. antinous. Talk about a spicy spider! Very quick and defensive when unboxing her. Immediately started lunging towards anything that moved in her enclosure and immediately took down a cricket.

Avicularia rufa.

A lot of mixed feelings about this purchase.

On the positive side I have really been wanting another Avicularia (especially one of the rarer ones) so am stoked to get my hands on it.

On the negative it was about a year ago now that I killed my last Avicularia (purpurea) sling with poor husbandry.

I have learned a lot in the last year and have raised 3 tiny arboreal slings to sub adults in that time (Tapinauchenius plumipes, rasti, and Cyriopagopus sp. "Hati Hati"), but also managed to kill one of my Cyriopagopus sp. "Hati Hati" sling for no apparent reason at all.

So while my skill and confidence is there, I can't shake the shadow of trepidation at dropping so much cash on a delicate sling. So I guess I have something to prove to myself with this one.

Love the little bugger already. Going to keep him nice and warm and plump and try and get him out of the tiny sling phase as fast as possible.

I found my holy grail of tarantulas. An adult female P. ornata that I got from a private breeder. I truly wasn't planning on getting any more spiders, but the opportunity presented itself and I just couldn't pass her up. She's huge and incredibly beautiful. She will have a boyfriend in the future too, since I currently have a few male slings. She's currently in an enclosure that is too small for her, so I'll be rehousing her soon. This is the best photo I could get of her for now.

Congratulations! It's an awesome feeling tracking down and finally acquiring a dream specimen, isn't it? Word of warning, careful on that rehouse. In addition to being one of the largest pokies, ornata is also one of the most flighty as well IME. They don't seem to calm down as they reach adulthood like some other pokies.

Thanks for the advice. I've only had to deal with slings of this species so far, and yes they are very skittish. I definitely don't want to deal with an escaped adult or even worse a bite! I think that when I rehouse her I'm just going to put her old enclosure inside of the new one and leave it open so that she can come out on her own when she feels comfortable.

This month I've gone from 1 to 9 with these additions

B boehmei sling

N coloratovillosus sling
N chromatus juvie
N tripepii sling

LP "sling"

Welcome to the club. And don't mind all these A. gen fanatics on AB. They like to pick on us LP owners because our spiders have no rally-stripes, damn snobs .

 

[Shinn]

0.6 inch GBB sling! Won it!, Woot!


3 inch C. guangxiensis male

 

[SunRoseSpider]

Still single digits in my collection though!

I got sent a Davus pentaloris sling as a free gift with my order, so I have ten Ts now!

They're so pretty
