ok well this is the last A. henzi sling i have left from the Mo bug hunt(the other one had been paraticized by a small headed fly) i only had two now just one:(

but this little thing is just "curious" the best way to put it. it loves to be out and explore my arm:)

thank you. ive decided basically give up sexing her:8o i mean it. because she molted a few days ago, so i decided to get my microscope out and sex it via molt. well letsjust say th end result was wasted molt. :wall: :wall:

Your tarantulas are impressive, dude. I love the C. huahini and thinking if I want to get one as my burrower instead of a cobalt.

And the A.hentzi sling is so cute it can get away with world domination! :D

my C. huahini wont burrow. not sure its even an obligate burrower due to its extensive webbing. it acts more like a super mad C. cyanopubenses.(GBB) than anything. either way you cant go wrong. and thanks.

thanks man. truely appreciated.

ive only had the M. robustum for a few months now. but we will see what happens.

i have found the two tricks to keeping humid loving species, is
1. use peat moss- it has less of a chance fore molding because its higher PH levels
2. dont be scared to get it moist- i add a good amount of botteled water
