Ornata would be about my first choice. How does a person buy slings...to have a good chance one will be a female? Or when will you be confident you have females to sell?
My first T a male Pink Toe (slim) died 5/14. As you observed he was "off" in behavior, it was especially odd when he just fell off the top of his perching stick and had a bad time getting off his back. He managed to climb back up only to the top and fall backwards again. It seemed he could not...
