Hey Guys,
After keeping juvenile-adult T's, many of which are now MMs that have passed or at death's door, for several years now, I finally bought some sling species in multiples. I was wondering how you guys pass the time from the moment they're itty bitty 1/4''
slings to when they finally start being recognizable as tarantulas.
I'm currently waiting for school to resume, I'm not working too much at the moment, and I tend to spend time with friends and family once the sun goes down, so believe me when I say that I've been doing a whole lot of nothing during the day. Add tiny slings to my situation, and you've got a crazy young man dying for his babies to molt :biggrin:
Luckily, I do have a couple of adult tarantulas to help me satiate my need to look at something larger. Believe it or not, I can spend an hour just observing my Grammostola rosea and G. pulchripes. I can spend even more time watching my Nhandu coloratovillosus. Unfortunately, my very favorite to look at and admire, a Pterinochilus murinus MM, doesn't look like he'll be around much longer, so I soon won't have him to sink my observation time into.
I've also spent hours on here just reading as many posts as I possibly can. I've briefly read posts on here before, but I just made my account not too long ago, and I'm so glad I did. I'm having a blast reading through old posts to pass the time.
I'd actually like to know how YOU guys pass the time or maybe acquired the patience when working with small slings.
Sorry if my post was longer than it needed to be, and thanks for bearing with it!
