i managed to pick up a Nhandu Chromatus for a wonderful price. pictures will be coming of course.

 

[jimip]

i got one it wasnt easy

Very cute! They grow very fast
I've noticed that as slings they like deep substrate so that they can burrow and stalk their prey.

 

[jimip]

lol he has a whole under his leaf. should i deepen it a bit maybe? is this something that ill never see because it burrows?

Congrats

I am looking at getting some new ones. Not sure about the ones that burrows because iv have the same thought, well i ever see it?

 

[jimip]

i dont mind having a happy burrow but i like to see them to will it be overly upset if i just give it a good hide instead?

 

[Mike H.]

Most slings feel secure when they can hide, as these spiders get larger they generally are on " display " more...

Regards, Mike

it can hide all it wants its whole life. i just like to know what to expect. knowing that its a roll of the die, there are still some species that will have a tendancysit out ( like smithis) or hide forever ( like my E. mirunis

I love Nhandus ...I have a chromatus and a coloratovillosus. They are both beasts! They never turn down food! they are a little skittish though.

+1 All the ones I've had have been GREAT eaters.

About half of my N. chromatus slings do burrow, and the other half are usually visible. After light out most are out.

Nice looking sling. Can I ask waht you paid for it?
