That feeling of excitement you get after ordering new slings and knowing you'll be seeing them on Friday. I am getting an A. versi, an OBT, and the little E. sp "red" that I won. Can't wait.

Your Gunna have a lot of waiting to do for the E. sp 'red' to grow haha nice choices though.

P.s if your over 35 put the slings in your will haha j/p.

@storm76 how are your Euthalus slings coming along?

I have an E sp "red" already. She has molted
Three times since I got her and she is still in a vial. Maybe .25 inch. Hahaa

Little nervous about the OBT. My first old world. I am confident enough though not to do anything stupid.

The Versi is my first arboreal. Excited about that. Will definately be posting pics when they get here.

:)

I meant .5, she was so tiny when I got her. I bet this new one will be just as tiny.
The versi has got me really excited. I love how blue and fuzzy they are as babies, and I am ready to see her and the OBT go to town on webbing. :)

My babies arrived today. So here are the promised pictures.

My A. versicolor (which I have determined is the world's cutest sling.) I named her Narcissa.


My OBT. I knew they were fast. I watched videos of them, but I was still shocked with how fast she was. She is now happy and content and has already webbed the corner of her habitat. I have named her Bellatrix. I love how she is already orange, and has little orange tufts on her legs.


And here is the little E. Sp "Red" Since I already have one of these, this little one is going to go to a really good friend of mine who is also a T collector. I remember my Korra being this little when I got her. So cute!



I think I am good on everything. Mist the versi's substrate twice a week. (I feed one cricket 2X a week for slings, so I will mist then) and I am keeping the substrate moist for the E. sp, and misting one side of the enclosure for the OBT. Any other advise. This is my first Arboreal and OW. I am still so excited and giddy. :)

All I need now is my B. albiceps and my wish list is complete.....for now.

Whoops, sorry. Totally overlooked this. The biggest couple is pretty much an inch now and molted not long ago ;) They're doing fine.

I have a E. Sp "Red" in a vial also. It's the only reason I have fruit flies as feeders.

Yeah...right! I couldn't believe JFB when he mentioned I wouldn't be able to keep it down to a certain size of my collection (though I mostly succeeded) - and I won't believe you either :D Let's count the # of days before you decide to add more to that wishlist...hehe :D

Lol I totally know what you mean, my GF and I settled on three but because of a freebie we are getting with our last and one that was on our list we now have 4. But they are all awesome and 2 of them are ones I really really wanted. An A. Purpurea and a G. Pulchripes. I can't wait for my little guys to get here

I gave her a cricket drumstick, but it seemed to freak her out. My other E. Sp has grown enough to kill her own prey now. Both are still in vials.

I fed everyone today, and they all seem happy. I gave my little versi a cricket drumstick. I just kinda wiggled it in front of her and she hit it hard. God she is so freaking cute

Here is a pic!
