Well my little versicolors are starting to sprout, this morning I had 1 egg with legs and tonight around 15 or so

Cool dude. My A.Avic's are already little spiders, but not moving too much. Are you using a cradle? What temps and humidity and stuff?

Both right around 75, Just wait until they start moving around

it is crazy as the second you open the lid you will have 50 little T's trying to escape LOL they go from not moving much to being quick little devils almost over night

So about how many do you have? Greg

JohnxII: Nope! I think she´s a bit young to mate her. Besides, it´s the only A. avicularia I have

I see so many post saying they can't find crickets small enough or that you chop up crickets to feed your T's, well I think that some of you may be surprised at what these little avics can take down. I have been feeding these guys oversized food since there first meals and here is one of them at about an inch easily taking down an inch and a half cricket.

I've always loved this shot I took of my Avi about 2 years back...that was when I knew next to nothing about photography, so getting a pic like this was pretty much a freak accident (and she was kind of posing for the camera a little I guess you could say

). She was a really friendly T. and was an awesome pet.

And this is of my (late) P. murinus and she was....well typical. Mean, aggressive, and once she built herself a webbed burrow I never saw her again. Still, I would buy another, I love how they look and act. (plz excuse the poor quality, that's actually a picture of a picture I took with a throw away camera.)

My guess is the Peruvian pinktoe (Avicularia urticans).

Awesome pics btw, do you have better results feeding 1 large crickets to slings rather than a couple at a time?

I did a lil research before i answered. I figured u would expect me to say versi, so i was hesitant to put it.
The versi slings arent as leggy as the laeta slings. In my opinion, that sling is leggy.

Really the point was you don't have to find crickets that are smaller than the T. which can be very hard to do when they are small, just give them a shot and they just may surprise you, as for having better luck feeding 1 larger rather than 2 or more small, I can't say that I have had better luck but is funner to watch them tackle and roll around fighting with bigger pray and aslo is cheaper to feed 1 rather than 2 and easier to get larger ones.

Here is the mother Laeta just wishing I had another male... anyone?

does this work w/T's of other genuses? I've read comments here that lead me to believe that Avicularia slings are a bit more 'aggressive' in this regard than others.

Messy pic of A.metallica sling who will molt today.

Legs are totally black, cant see that too well of that pic.

Well, I have noticed this more with Avics but that is just because I have had more small Avics, I have also noticed this very much so with small Psalmo slings and I have never had a problem with small terrestrials eating it just seems they don't jump on it as quick as the little avics or psalmos will, but that normally goes for any size food.
