Pure Sling Sass! OBT Joy

[desertdweller]

Nope I didn't have time to grab my camera.

I was packing four biggie slings to be shipped. I always pack a piece of each little one's web in the tissue/paper towel to help them feel at home. The last one to go in popped out when I grabbed it's web and scooted to the carpet. I reached down to puck up the little guy/girl when WHAM! it throws up a threat display. Teeny tiny fangs outstretched and slapping the ground! A chip off the old block-just like his old man.

Though I was laughing I was not about to reach down and pick it up. His dad would be proud. In his prime he was all threat display and no play.

Have fun new owner and watch those little tiny fangs! :razz:

LOL. Mine was more skittish than defensive. It's really funny how the tiny slings wanna take you on mano-a-mano.

I have 10 1/2 i nch slings communally. When I open their cage I am always greeted with outstretched arms awaiting hugs. They are so cute! When I reach in they have gotten on my hand and up my arm but theyve never bitten.......yet!!

awwwwwww that is so cute!! I had a batch of H. macs and every once in a while one of the wee 2nd instars would throw a big ole threat display! I just wanted to pick them up and hug them! Of course, I acted terrified so as not to make them think they werent scary...

Nice. I thought my half inch slings would always love me too. I still let them all crawl on my hand, when THEY want to! Still love 'em all.

LOL, I'll remember that next time one of them throws a hissy fit at me. I remember their dad sending a 5'10", 200 lb. friend over the couch in a half second flat! I never knew a person that big could move so fast.
