This is getting very addictive!

[M13]

I went up to a local garden centre and was browsing the reptile and spider section and spotted A.avicularia sling for £4.99!

A mate of mine has a Pinktoe and they look great, so I bought me 2 slings

For now I am housing them in little 'microwave' food pots that I buy 3 for a £1 at local pound shop.

The compost is still a little damp but I don't think it will make a huge difference (have dried most of it off)

Your slings look great. and I have to agree that Ts are very addictive, I buy one from my local pet store every chance I get.

yes Ts are addictive.. and scorpions.. and frogs... and well anything that I can feed hahah congrats on your new babies! they look great.

hey, nice addition, avics are gorgeous in all their stages of life .

just make sure that they have an excessive amount of ventilation holes in those plastic boxes - especially if the substrate is still wet. nothing kills an avic sling as fast as damp, unmoving air. good luck raising them!

Yes i agree T's and Scorps are addictive, there are no cure.

One T leads to multiple T's which leads to Scorps which leads to Pedes which is what's happening to me. Just enjoy the ride like I am. They are all fantistic pets.

Your slings are very cute. Nice choices.

Congrats on the buy!

I agree with the above. Also, you don't need much substrate at all for those T's, instead go for a slightly higher box and instead put a few items in there on which the T's can climb and build small nests (they are arboreal afterall ).

Good luck with them!

Haha, yeah, what an expensive habit collecting tarantulas actually is.....

Who knows how much I have spent on reptiles and arachnids over the years....could have bought a really nice car instead....ahhhh, sure is awesome though
