I love buying my own birthday and Christmas presents - that way I’m never disappointed with what I getIf you're not a child, isn't every Christmas sad?

I know! I bought them expecting to also have enclosures with them because I didn't have any extras ready (outside of what I was already expecting) until the last minute when I started going through my Tupperware and burning ventilation holes the night before delivery when I found out they weren't going to have them this round! XDThey arrived today. I now have no doubt about the identity of two of the four mystery slings I received. I was surprised they didn't come with enclosures this time. Guess I didn't read the fine print thoroughly enough while I was puzzling over the clues. Thankfully I had plenty of small containers all prepared. Cut myself a little while making tiny cork bark hides yesterday, and my 5-year-old son was very concerned. He was certain I should go see a doctor, lol.
All seven of my slings were happy, healthy and active. The Pamphobeteus sp. Mascara was definitely the calmest unboxing I've ever done. Little thing slowly strolled out of the paper towel and stood near the hide I put in the enclosure. So pretty, and just days after my Pamphobeteus sp. Machala molted out of her pretty sling colors. Can't wait to see if I'm right about all of the mystery spiders. So excited. It's like I get two Christmases this year
Hope you guys all had similar success with your unboxing.
I got a bunch of enclosures ready because I didn't see anywhere on the site saying they were shipped with enclosures. Pedro's roar from space has gotta be cyriocosmus leetzi. I thought wishfully Tanya's would be Aphonopelma moorae, but I think it is Bonnetina Cyaneifemur. Both so tiny.I know!

I know, I'm super excited about the reveal. I can't wait for them to announce it!
Dang. Bumba caboclas are cool too. I've only come across one H chillensis for sale and it it was 175 for a slingI've gotten their mystery Ts a few times in the past. I was really hopeful once that I had guessed one as H chilensis and then ended up with a Bumba cabocla *fart noises*, but I get some awesome freebies from FNT so nbd.
I added 3 to my order that I knew had to be OBTs but it was for a friend so we could save on shipping. I was correct on that one.
Honestly, from what I've seen, that's a median price. However, FNT briefly had them for $70 or so around July last year. You won't see that price again any time soon, I think.Dang. Bumba caboclas are cool too. I've only come across one H chillensis for sale and it it was 175 for a sling
I think a big part of it is also how slow they grow. I feel like we're probably waiting for a bunch of males to mature which could take some years. It's wild seeing them listed for $18 3 or 4 years ago. I hope that happens againHonestly, from what I've seen, that's a median price.

They are difficult to breed, and I think most of the US breeders who are trying are really struggling.
Loads of males have matured in the last year - my friend had two! At least three sacs that I know of were laid and then eaten by the females, and one girl I know of who was bred to two different males and never produced a sac. It's not so much the availability of males that's the issue as it is these ladies need specific conditions to produce and then love to chomp on a sac, imo.I think a big part of it is also how slow they grow.

I'd love to, but Fear Not still hasn't released the results. I think Tanya's is a Bonnetina sp and Pedro's was 2 C leetzi's.Well? Can you guys tell us what you got from the event?
I shoulda got Tanya’s. They’re always good ;__;The grand reveal is here.
My B minax died already, but the two C leetzis are well. I'm frustrated because I was moistening one side of the substrate and it ate two days ago.@Tarantuland , since we both got one, if they turn out to be a male and a female, let’s try to breed!
What????My B minax died already,
Yeah it <edit> sucks...I found it last night curled on the side of its enclosure.What????
I would have cried so hard. I'm sorry.Yeah it <edit> sucks...I found it last night curled on the side of its enclosure.
