Thank you for advertising that in my thread, do you get a sales commissions ;)
sure you always get what you paid for, and never know what you could get specially when comes to little animals
I got burn few times, latest one got 6 G pulchra spiderlings little over then a year ago, they grow up to be something 2,5" golden/pink Am not even sure what the heck they are, but NOT G. pulchra that I paid for
those also came on import, there you go ;)
I agree with that, I however dpo trust Anas's stock 100% without a doubt!! I would gladly pay more for something that is CB and that is a quality animal! Put me on the list Ana!!!:clap::)

Of course it'll be a movie star...all my T's are. LOL

And now I'm flattered...gee, thanks! :O) I appreciate that. Me and my wife spent some considerable time recently looking through your entire pic thread and we were both very impressed. Can we come live with you?? LOL All those sacs!! :eek: And you're just so calm..."oh, here just a pic, no biggie" and it shows several high end sacs. I wouldn't be that calm! But I think you all know that already! LOL

Just out of curiosity Ana, what do the babies eat? I imagine it would be hard for them to find food in such a (relatively) large enclosure. How about humidity? How do you keep the humidity level high enough for slings? Thanks,

at such young ages... the slings can actually live off of the egg until their 2nd molt (to my understanding) at small sizes however, i think the flightless fruit flies would be the perfect meal. Once they moult again you can smash small cricket heads to kill them and the spider will scavenge the corpse.

I spoke with people who bred P. smithi before and they said with this species it's roughly 80/20, first number being girls :)

really??, I got pretty large group from couple imports, and now that I can sex them I got ratio 5 females to 16 males and 3 looks like males but need to molt to just make sure
second question, how do they know about that ratio?
got me thinking maybe that is how I end up with so many males?

What makes you think this may be the first US breeding?

I have a friend in town with two P. smithi slings that were supposedly hatched out in April of this year. I'll have to ask him who produced them again, as I can't remember.

Regardless, there are very few of these species out there. Congratulations on the success!
