10 more slings...

[menavodi]

Like I really needed it. Today I received 5 spiderlings each of Chilobrachys dyscolus and Ch. huahini.

Rehousing from those little vials to a “large” house was easy. Some just walked out, others stayed in their transport containers a little longer.

My freebie is a Tliltocatl albopilosus. It is already a little bigger and is liking the new terrarium a lot!

I am happy with all my new T’s

I could not agree more!

Did you put those slings on bark chips?

Any manure in there?
Organic soils usually do, chicken manure is the worst (smelling)

I don’t have a smell. Actually it smells like after a good rain when you spray it. It is only that wet in the beginning... later on when the plants do good I know everything is ok for the spiders as well.

They make themselves at home already...

They look great, I am waiting on a couple at the moment.
I do not expect to end up with dozens/hundreds. Am I fooling myself?

I'm so envious of everyone that can get alot of new additions or have a large collection as I cannot at the moment have that many. However congratulations nonetheless great additions. I can attest to the T. albopilosum as they have such a huge personality. I love'em, I know alot of people are turned off by plain brown T's but I love them all.

LOL. May be you are not ending up with 100 or more...at least not now!
