Nice idea!

I just got a new sling, a Nhandu caraponensis, it was shippend in a small testing tube and I was worried about his status.. but now it seems cool, is moving around, using his new den :D I put inside a dead short wing cricket and after a day it disappeared.

My T apophysis sling came in one of those too but mine didn’t have paper towels in it. It was already a tight fit with the sling being roughly 2in, so not much room for any paper towels anyway. When I popped the cap, it’s little front feet poked out immediately, so it was definitely a bit curled up inside. I could not, for the life of me, figure out how he got it in there. But at least it was safe!
I was worried that it wouldn’t be able to get out on its own, so I set the tube in the enclosure and figured I’d give it some time. The second the tube hit the substrate, it got the zoomies for a minute and then settled into its hide.

Love the unboxing! Those are some of my favorite videos. I wish I could find one where the spider gets out of the shipping material and then zooms around it’s new enclosure because I’m starting to feel like I get all the hyper slings 😂

Your t ahpopysis is already 2 inches!! I feel like my b auratum will outlive me. They take ages to grow but not as bad as a aphonopelma. If I was ever going to get one it would have to be a juvi.

I bought it at that size, to be fair. 😂 my N chromatus, on the other hand, is only 1/8th of an inch and it blends in with its substrate so well that I’m never 100% sure if it’s still in its cup

Damn, do they ever. I got my B. auratum almost 2 years ago and he's maybe 1.5 inches now. He molts consistently but puts on just a tiny bit of size each time. They sure are gorgeous as adults though!

Is he showing color? I got a 1/4 sling about a 6 months ago. Molted once. When did yours show color
