Here's an adult

I should be getting one in the mail soon. They should turn out to be a neat little T. Their common name as I have seen them is "Colombian Bluebottle". So, I guess they come from Colombia I'm assuming they are on the smaller side, are a terrestrial, and need moderate humidity and warmth. If I'm wrong somebody please correct me!!! Now's a great time to get one too. I'm pretty sure only a few babies are left for sale in the US.

Besides the 12 that were here in TX since last year

There was another import as well (I know Reptist had them for sale, so they've come in at least 3 times). So, if ken did bring in a full 30, then I bet there's at least 50 (minimum) in the states if I was guesstimating.

Mine are all little specs still too, imagine they'll be that way for awhile.

Oh, I wasn't asking a question. I know they've come into the country separately at least 3 times. The first import was a private one (for myself and another hobbyist)... then there's been at least 2 (maybe more) imports by dealers.

Anyways, it doesn't matter... I just wanted to point out that there was more in the country than you had mentioned.

Now, maybe I should go feed the little dust mites.

They are very easy to keep. I just crush the head on a roach toss it in there and the next day they are fat and happy.

Are these slow growers?

 

[Flexzone]

Are these slow growers?

I've heard there fairly slow growers.

 

[Philth]

Its interesting how these slow growing species always seem to disappear from the hobby. On top of the original 40-50 that were mentioned at the top of this thread from 7 years ago, there's has been several more imports after that. So why are they so rare? Potentially a couple of hundred should be in the U.S. now. Where do all these slings go ????? I had to import a mature male from another country for my last mating attempt.

I'll answer for Eric since this thread is pretty dated and he's not much active on the boards these days. Yes slow growing. This thread is a nice reminder that they entered the hobby in 2008. It wasn't until 2 years ago that I had my first males mature, so it took them 5-6-ish years to mature ( and I tend to grow my spiders fast here). Unfortunately my first few breeding attempts were failures. But I was pretty proud to pull the first successful U.S. today actually ( funny how this thread popped up today as well).

Wow, nice. Do you have some adult photos? I've been trying to look up some online but sometimes people label them wrong.
