My very first T's

[rat_cuddler]

I am so excited and I had to share it with everyone. I just got my very first T's. They are 2 A. Versi .5" slings from kenthebugguy. I have not taken them out of their vials yet, as I am at work, but one had made it's way out of the paper, and I could see it on the side, it's moving and I am so happy. Sorry for the run on sentence. I have their first enclosures at home set up, but now I am afraid that they 4X4 tubs I have them in may be too large. I also wanted to thank everyone who has helped me learn and grow out of my arachnophobia. This site has a wealth of knowledge, and I would not have any clue how to properly care for Creeper, and Charlotte without it. Thanks again, and if you have any first hand tips to pass along I never turn down good help. :worship:

Congrats on the new arrivals, 4x4 may be a little large for them, but should not be too much of an issue. They will likely web up a corner and you can feed directly into their web. Just make sure (I am sure you have done your research) to keep them well ventilated yet somewhat humid. I jhve versis from 1.5" all the way to 6" gravid female and waiting on her to lay a sac as we speak.

As for advice, I would recommend taking out a small loan to fund the rest of the T's you WILL be getting!

All five of my T's (one being a Versicolor) are in 4"x4"x4" containers ad seem to not mind the extra space. My smallest is .25" and the largest is the Versicolor. It was 1", but molted on the 26th and I haven't tried to measure it yet.

Thanks for the tips
I am so excited to get them home. These are the jars I have set up for them (the coco fiber was soaking when I took the pics)

Closeup (I know there is a small cap for water in their, but I am not going to fill it with water until they get bigger)

I just sucked up my fear and temp, relocated them. I cleaned out a couple of 20oz water bottles, cut the tops off (I inverted them to act as clumbing posts, and a lid. I also had some substrate that I ordered that I added. I was so afraid to open the lid of their vials it's not funny. I brought some tiny dowel rods to work with me as I knew this is where they would arrive. One of them was very fiesty. After I removed the top layed of towel it came charging full force out of the vial and up the pop bottle. I squeeled like a little girl, and put the lid on fast. It is now chilling on the side of the bottle. The second one I was ready for, but it was very calm, and took some coaxing to get it out of the vial. It is now chilling on the substrate under the bottle cap. I think the fiesty one shall be Creeper, and the calm is Charlotte. I hope they are not gender confused by their names later. they are so cute, and I am glad they arrived alive.Creeper is a tad bigger, and brighter than Charlotte right now. As soon as I get home, I will get pics for everyone to see. Sorry for such a long post, I am just excited.

are those flowers? Make sure they are not toxic and you don't see any baby bugs on them of any type

Congrats on the new additions! A. versis are great

They are fake flowers, and I cleaned them first. They have already started webbing, and are so pretty and tiny.

Don't use the flowers just find some bark and bake it for 30 misn to kill all of the bacteria off, Make sure that it's quite Humid and that there is a lot of ventilation.
