Had to get feeders you know:D
Came home with 2 more T's.

A. anax~ Texas Tan
C. fasciatum~Costa Rican Tiger Rump:D

They are tiny little slings so for now I won't bother with pics.

If you have these T's tell me about your experience with them.

I have a texas tan and the tiger rump. They are both great T's. My anax is pretty much a rock nothing seems to both her. The C. faciatum is a little more skittish. She dont mind being held but on her terms only. And she has done the same thing that daillist said his has done. I'm thinking it's a hibernation thing.

I have a C. fasciatum sling. As most have said, it is rather skittish, and I almost never see it. It's usually down in its burrow. I wouldn't consider mine defensive, as it runs back to its burrow when I open the container.

I had an A anax that I traded...very nice spider BTW.
I have a C fasciatum female that has been sealed up for what seems like months. She used to be out and about all the time, then she made an infertile eggsac. Ever since then, she's been in hiding and secretive..possibly pre molt.

They are fast! And beautiful! Not too aggressive, mine is kinda flightly but it has a great attitude when it's exploring.

i have a c. fasciatum sling that loves to move dirt around her enclosure. i have her in a small delicup. she is just about 3/4 inch. very good eater. slightly skittish. seems to like the dirt semi-dry. i mist one side every few days for water and humidity and then let the other side get a little dry. she spends most of her time on the drier side of the delicup. webs a lot during feeding and right before a molt. just starting to show a hint of adult coloration on her rump. make sure to prekill the food. my little one runs from anything that even wiggles in her enclosure. she is still eating cricket legs and half of a small mealwrom. (hates pinheads. just something to think about) mine seems to take a while between molts but grows a lot when she does molt. (i dont know if she is actuallly a girl. i just refer to her as such because she seems a bit prissy for a tarantula.) hope this helps
