To be completely honest, versicolor just may be the least fragile of all the avic related slings. Give them the right tools and they web quickly and are always really good eaters.@Andrea82 I don't like big cars myself, mainly for the exact reasons you listed. Most of the parking places where I live are dinky things, and parking big cars, or trucks, is a pain in the buns. And they are indeed gas hogs.
Anyway, came on this thread to fuss at ya'll, and I'll tell you why. I have been fighting this growing desperation in me. This 24/7 desperation that fills my mind with pictures of the cutest and most beautiful little tarantula slings I have ever seen. The A.Versicolor sling. Ooops, it's C.Versicolor now isn’t it? Bah. Anyway I talked and talked to myself about it, reminding myself that I have too many tarantulas already. 15 total now. I know that's a laughable amount to most of you but to a newbie that has only been in hobby going on two months, that’s a lot. So anyway told myself I have enough and to stop being greedy and be happy with what you have. And then I also reminded myself that I was a little worried about the fact that C.Versicolors can sprint and jump out of an enclosure before a person can even blink, and that I feared losing it or hurting it trying to catch it. I did this with one of my slings not long ago and I was devastated and so disgusted with myself. Still am. But anyway I told myself all of this and I thought, yeah I can wait for the expo in June and buy either a juvenile, sub adult or adult female there. Do they have those at expos often?
Anyway I convinced myself that I can wait for the Expo. I don't need to buy any of those absolutely darling little blue babies. For all of the reasons above, and the fact that I hear they're very fragile as slings. So yeah, I have my desperation in check. It's all cool. I can wait. No problem. Then I come here to this thread because the title of it caught my interest, and I read everything and looked at everyone's gorgeous pictures of their tarantulas that are a living work of art, and that desperation came back stronger than ever before. My heart, which was stolen and is now controlled by C.Versicolors when I first laid eyes on them, cannot fight any longer. I must have one. I must have two, even. Sadly I can't buy any until I get paid the 25th of this month, and I pray that there will still be some available at Jamie's Tarantulas. If there isn't I know I will be SO bummed.
So yeah, thank you everyone for making me need this stunning little blue diamond in my life right now!I have crossed into the Dark Side. Ugh. Ya'll better have cookies too. I need cookies. And I also need someone to tell me the best way to do a set up for this beauty so it won't die on me. Tell me every little step, every little detail, please, please! I would appreciate it so very much, you have no idea how much OMG. Lol forgive me if my post sounds overly odd or stupid. I haven't slept in days. Makes me kind of nuts lol. But anyway yes, thank you for the push into owning these pretty things and sorry for the long, long read. If ya'll feel like ignoring this post I will completely understand!
Set ups are simple.
