[QUOTE="Nunua, post: 134174, member: 4947"] Hello and welcome to the family - and the addiction :D I personally started in February this year with one [I]Acanthoscurria geniculata[/I] juvenile, a month later I was thinking that "maybe just one more..." and got a sub adult [I]Neoholothele incei[/I] gold. Then I realized that I want a sling and so arrived[I] Brachypelma boehmei[/I]. Then arrived [I]Brachypelma albopilosum, Brachypelma albiceps, Caribena versicolor, Nhandu chromatus, Sericopelma angustum [/I]and [I]Cyriocosmus elegans [/I](unfortunately this little chap died very soon) slings. Now in July I had my latest slings [I]Brachypelma klaasi, Brachypelma auratum[/I] and my first old world slings [I]Poecilotheria vittata[/I] and [I]P. tigrinawesseli. :rolleyes: [/I] So yes... One more T can't hurt, right? Or 10. :D At the moment I need to concentrate on this bunch as I have a relatively small apartment. Deli cups are easy, but when the slings start to require bigger boxes, I may have a problem, haha! And for old worlds - Yes, they are shown as aggressive species but in the end it's usually just them being defensive. I have owned my Pokie slings (diagonal leg span 3.5 - 4 cm / 1.38 - 1.57") only for a week, and so far all I can say is that [I]P. vittata[/I] is a skittish teleportation master who prefers hiding in the pokie pose and [I]P. tigrinawesseli[/I] is more of a "I'm gonna sit here and if you gently ask me to move by giving me a gentle poke with an object, I first go in the pokie pose and if the disturbing continues, I'll get annoyed and slap the object with my front legs as a warning".
