All my Ts (7) I bought at an inch with no deaths thus far. All from fear not tarantulas.
That makes way more sense; because yeah, I figured @user 666 didn't put them in enclosures with huge vent holes.It's likely had they been MIA for month/months they died and just decomposed. I imagine he checked the vent hole size before putting them in the enclosure.
While I've not had much trouble with tiny slings I do baby them a lot more than older (larger) slings. At 1/4 inch it doesn't take a lot to go off before the sling doesn't make it.
That's odd considering I have ordered from both vendors and have never had any issues with the size or DOAs. I did pm inland over their website having a size error on one of their tarantulas listed, but other than that, no issues.Now that I know my experience is not par for the course, I will do so.
The thing about my DOAs is that they all happened with exactly two vendors, both of which came highly recommended on this forum. With one vendor (Pet Center USA) I lost 4 and a half Ts out of an order of ten, and with the other vendor (@Inland Sea ) I lose a sling from every order.
I had already sworn off the one vendor, and the other has banned me because I complained about getting Ts half the promised size.
So I guess this problem has taken care of itself.
