My slings are very happy in their cardboard box with gravel substraight ,calcium light ,heat mat underneath and one side ,pint of water in the gravel for humidity so glad I the pet shop bloke gave me advise.
They seem to love it I peep though the hole in box and see my chilobrachys kaeng krachan and my lasiodora difficilis slings hugging and the chilo even carrys him around with his mouth ..bless them both.


What to get next ...g.Metallica? Mabey a sand tarantula

I think that is cannibalism, not love. Tarantulas are not capable of expressing emotions like more complex animals (e.g. Elephants and humans.)

Octopuses, Octopi and Octopodes are all correct.

"The plural form of octopus is octopuses (or occasionally octopodes). Although it is often supposed that octopi is the 'correct' plural of octopus, and it has been in use for longer than the usual Anglicized plural octopuses, it in fact originates as an error."

You may want to add a trollface emoji to this post. If a new keeper sees this, he/ might think this is a good way to keep them. Unbelievable, I know, but we get the most crazy questions here...:D

And here i was thinking this thread would be worthless. I feel bad for all the unnecessary corrections I've given out... not that i do it rudely. Id just hate to be corrected if I wasnt wrong. Thanks! This is the thing i learned today!
Edit: just out of curiosity, cacti is the only plural of cactus, right? If its not, my life is a lie and ive got some elementary school teachers to slap.
