My order from cold blood got here today. 8 N. chromatus slings (not pictured because they all are about the size of ants and have hid themselves in their sphagnum) and 4 P. regalis slings.

I love how you keep your slings. I just picked up a few artists jars from hobby lobby for some future Avicularia. I did the holes like you did on yours and they turned out great

Thanks! I'm glad I could help. I do love those 1000ml hobby lobby jars, I just wish they had a translucent lid so I could see if there was a spider lurking on the lid. But now I've found these new canisters from snapware that are round and perfectly clear, and have a translucent lid that you can snap shut rather than unscrew and rescrew. I'm using the smallest (34 oz.) for my Poecilotheria slings and will transfer my Caribena into them when they get bigger.

They even make really big ones! They are more expensive than the 1000 ml. artist jars, but the lid makes it worth it to me.

I've added four Ybyrapora diversipes spiderlings (1.5"), two Monocentropus balfouri spiderlings (2"), and one Hapalopus sp. Columbia large spiderling freebie (.25") to my collection.

I'm jealous about the M balfouri. That may be my next aquisition. More pictures!

Lol so I've recently modelled my new versicolor slings' enclosures after yours

Haha, wow that's flattering! I hope it works for you as much as it's been working for me.

I am literally blown away by the color on these Y. diversipes. I can't get enough.

I'm actually really enjoying this freebie (Hapalopus sp. Columbia large) more than I thought I would! This is the smallest tarantula I've ever seen readily attack a dropped feeder.

 

[miss moxie]

When you drop a feeder on your T and they just sit still and pretend not to exist, and you're reminded why you always pre-kill for slings.

I always love your housing for your T's....Btw what species is the black one in the heart water dish?

Well thank you! That is a Phormictopus cancerides sling, it's really cute-- all legs.

Yes! Do you make T inspired people housing?! I'm thinking heart shaped hot tubs...

Totally! You should see my bedroom. I covered the hardwood floors in couple feet of coconut fiber so if I fall while climbing the walls I don't hurt myself. There's a lot of cobwebs. It's really quite the masterpiece.

Maybe I should do this with my front porch steps so I don't break a leg the next time I fall down them. :wideyed:

Always the best ideas with you, mox!
