I wish you luck! I myself have a tliltocatl albopilosum sling which in my opinion is a great starter tarantula. I'm new to the hobby, but after getting 1 sling, I want many more! I might do the same and get 3-6 slings.I placed an order for 4 tiny tiny Cyriocosmus aueri slings. Cyriocosmus species no 6! I've never gotten slings this small and hope that I'll be able to raise them all. And of course hope to get at least one female.
Well I only have one spider so it's not really a tarantula room but it's the only room in the house with a captive spider lol. My sling is always so cute! Whenever I talk sometimes the sling moves around it's pretty cute. It will move closer to me. I think it's because of vibration I tend to be pretty loud when I talk I know they can't hear but they have pretty great hairs that help them with vibrations and chemicals.So what notable thing happened in your spider room today? Here's what's notable in mine. I'm a little spooked out. Spiders are so intuitive somehow. They just seem to know things sometimes.
Today is the first day that we may have 100 degree temperatures here in Phoenix. It's been really warm for about 2 weeks, so we've had the air conditioner on and the door is closed. As far as my spiders know, it's a normal april with temperature in the low-to-mid 70s. I go to check on the spiders this morning, and my beautiful male New River Rust Rump chalcodes has gone to Spider Jesus. Today. First real summer temperature day.
And who knew, because we're like 20 degrees above the average temperature right now, but the air conditioner is on. He lasts until today of all days. I find this very weird, but you know what? It's truly summer when the boys of LAST Summer are finally ready to give it up to a new generation and finally give up the ghost. Mind how you go, sexy pants. I just hope I get a sac with your genes in it, you good-looking son of a gun.
BUT... I did get the most adorable little A. Metallica sling from Beau, a guy I met on Craigslist, and his adorable son--both of whom will be at the Predators event in Mesa this weekend along with several of us Arachnoboarders. They're good people. I know this because my bearded dragon told me so. He's a real dowsing stick for people of character. He just knows who's worth knowing.
(Because I helped him with his studies) I can't wait til it becomes a gorgeous adult. (in like 10 years or so)
