Its a Grammostola aureostriata 1/2" very active. I'll post again tomorrow after I get it some crickets. Let's hope it has a good appetite.

Thanks guys!!!:D I haven't seen him/her since last night. It normally burrows on the side of the container but he must be in the middle. Should I be concerned? I'm going out now to get it some crickets. Lets see if that gets it out.;P

Hey guys I had read some posts that because of the toll shipping takes on the slings they might not eat for awhile. But I gave mine a thawed out cricket and it eat it right up. Should I throw another one in there to see if it eats again?

We should start taking bets on how long it takes for this collection to reach over 20!

i just got an adult A geniculata that is super chill and very impressive:D

they're mostly skittish and fast moving when they're slings but they usually calm down as they get bigger;)
