It sucks to have to wait that long. I was thinking they'll grow maybe to an inch the first year, but I just hope nothing happens to them and they make it to adulthood. They look so fragile.
They are fragile when they are small. You are gonna love them when grown up. they are really docile and nice color.
Yes, I can't wait
How are they doing now?? I'm supposed to be receiving one Tues and I'm so nervous about them, smh, lol
Wow, they are slow growers, aren't they?? What do you feed yours??
Bits of cricket and meal worm.
Ok, thnx
Ty Wolfspoon, I hope so. I jus hope I don't kill them. I've read alot of info about them but I'm new to the hobby and they are tiny. FNT'S says they're 1/4 I believe. Same size my Brachypelma Hamorii was. She's molted once in my care and is a little bigger. She rarely eats still. I've had her going on two months. I'm taking her being alive is a good sign I may be doing something right, lol. But I've been watching for the eualthus for quite a while. I'm really looking forward to meeting her TuesI got two of these slings about two months ago, and one of them has molted twice in my care, while the other looks like it will have its second molt any day now. They were sold as 1/4", but one was a little bigger than the other. That one is now about 1/2". It's interesting, the different growth rates people see with these.
They're active, sweet little slings and fun to watch. I'm sure you'll enjoy them.
Debbie, I’m new to the hobby too and have the same worries. It’s hard to get over the fear that my spiders may be secretly dying or unwell, even when they’re eating and molting and doing normal tarantula things.
You may have already done this, but I find it reassuring to post a picture on here of any new enclosure/spider and make sure things look ok.
When I get my baby and haves time I will post a picture of her. But I have pix of my other 3 babiesDebbie, I’m new to the hobby too and have the same worries.

That said I believe the care for your new sling should be the same as for your B. hamorii sling. I don’t know if this helps, but I keep my Euathlus slings with a tiny water dish and part of the substrate dampened, a ring of ventilation around the sides, and the room temperature around 75. I feed them every few days but they don’t eat often. I was surprised this past month when they really pigged out after their molts, eating 4 times in a row before fasting again.

They are known to be, but not necessarily. Depends on the temps, frequency of feeding, quality of prey and gender.
