Any New Additions?

[MrTwister]

Is it still alive? I think my n. chromatus sling lasted a month.

I bought two sexed female juveniles together from Genny Hands out of the classifieds a couple of years ago for $54 each and they are both full grown monsters now that mostly feed on frozen/thawed fuzzie mice from Rodent Pro.
.

Yup still alive. Have never had a sling die yet.

You're new to this. You will. Prepare yourself for the grief.

What do you define as new?

2 Days ago I received a 9cm female Acanthoscurria geniculata, a 5cm female Pterinopelma sazimai and a 1cm Nhandu chromatus.
Also got a 3cm Poecilotheria regalis as a freebie although I'm not sure if I'll be keeping this one.

Well, there's this Hamm expo (the Europeans know what I'm talking about) and I had to go, although I didn't want to , because I needed to hand over a few males I sold. What I learned: I cannot visit this expo without buying something.

1. Got a juvenile female P. regalis for the enclosure that became vacant this morning (it had housed the P. subfusca lowland MM I sold)
2. Got a group of 5 M. balfouri 2i slings. They are tiny brown specs . I wanted another balfouri communal since my 3 all seem to be male, well at least 2 are, not sure about the last. But one female balfouri does not make a communal, so I needed a new group.
3. Finally caved and got two H. pulchripes slings. They are just slightly larger brown specs.
4. Got a P. reduncus sling on a whim and since it was extremely cheap. The seller claimed for certain it is a female - they sex even slings per microscope. I hope I'll see it more often than my P. cam....
5. And I got young AF Holothele sanguiniceps. That's because I read the underrated species thread before going, so you know who's to blame for that.

Went the store for feeders and came home with a N. chromatus sling.

It’s so magical.

 

[athlete96]

~1" P. irminia, 1" T. gigas, 1/2" A. geniculata, 1/2" N. tripepii, 1/6" C. elegans.

Guess which one was a pain in the butt about rehousing? Hint: not the normally skittish ones.

Had to order feeders so I figured since I had to pay for shipping anyway I might as well get another T, lol. C. fimbriatus sling coming next week.

Picked up a few slings from a local guy last night.

3/4" Caribena versicolor
1" Poecilotheria ornata

Nothing crazy, but when they are $25 each with good acrylic enclosures and you don't have to pay shipping? Might as well.

Last week I got a B. vagans (~ 1,75") from a guy I met on "ebay kleinanzeigen" (I assume, that's something like your craigslist here in Germany), and I got it home-delivered. That's what I call service.

Avicularia braunshauseni sling and Avicularia purpurea sling arrived today. I got them in their habitats with no problem. The A. purp was ready to get out of it's vial, but the A. braunshauseni stayed bunched up till I prodded it a bit. Such cute lil boogers.
