I lost a sling today...sort of

[jen650s]

I looked and looked at the vial containing one of my Hapolopus slings and decided it must be missing as it wasn't in it's burrow or on the surface. I went and got out a magnifier to double check, and there it was just sitting there.


I have decided that I can no longer buy slings smaller than .5". If I need reading glasses to make it out on the substrate it is just too darned small for me to own. :sarcasm:

I can totally relate, especially with the Hapalopus slings! I've dug one out before because I completely panicked (we're talking a 1/3" sling). Luckily they grow fast! If only my 1/3" C. fasciatum would molt already...blends right into the substrate!

Lol, I hatched out a sac of Hapalopus sp. Colombia large in the summer, and feeding time is always fun. I often can't find them and by the time I do see them they're making a break for freedom. Fun spiders to keep though, and they do grow fast.

Haha, glad I'm not the only one with curious Pumpkins! If I'm going to chase someone around my kitchen table, it's almost always one of them! Cutest little guys in the world though.

I got 5 of these Friday just gone 3 were pretty chilled the other 2 were skittish as hell haha I can see why you have difficulty seeing them though I couldn't see one of mine when it was sat on top of a cricket feeding lol their colours blend well with the substrate and feeders lol.
