C. Darlingi or C. Faciatum?

[aquaArachnid]

I have room for one more T addition in my set up and I'm having a hard time deciding between the 2. I've always been a fan of the aggressive species. Just having a hard time deciding lol

uh.. Those are twoTotally different kinds of Ts...? But I'd get darlingi, good luck finding one...

I'm a fan of C. fasciatum, but they're not aggressive. More skiddish. Great webbers, mine runs back into its web hide as soon as it's disturbed.

If it is unsexed I would not drop 30 bucks on it.

how much would you drop on an unsexed T. Blondi? and when what how many molts does it take to determine their sex?

I own both the fasciatum and darlingi...they are both awesome, but i say go for the darlingi...you can always find the fasciatum later on.

Honestly,no offense,we would never buy an unsexed blondi...And as far as sexing a molt,with a good scope or loupe and a steady hand we have sexed stuff at 1.5 inches or so...Takes a while to develop an eye for it,but it is possible and greatly improves your chances at holding back what you need.

Oh,and as far as what to buy...Get both,as they are both dirty cheap as slings.

There are so many other great options... Do you own a pocie yet?

 

[captmarga]

I have two little darlingi slings... not much to see yet. On the other hand, I LOVE my fasciatums. I was so disappointed when Dulcinea ate the eggsac. Now my MM fasciatum has died, so I have to wait and see if one of the juvies matures out.
