[QUOTE="Shan1328, post: 213070, member: 38671"] Hi there, I’m new to the hobby, I now own 4 slings we did have 7 but a couple didn’t make it…the one that was the hardest to part with was my smiths….I had been watching my Smithi due to upcoming molt, one morning I opened my smithies enclosure lid not knowing it had just molted and I must of spooked it when I went to fill up the dish, and it fell, and to add to this story….my smithi was my slowest moving tarantula, but on this day it had to be my fastest moving tarantula because he ran to his death. It flew out of the enclosure spooked and it was so fast I had no time to react. It wasn’t a very long fall, off my end table and it flipped over after the fall and climbed back on the lid and seemed fine. By morning it had died….I actually cried I had grown attached to it. I’ve been very upset ever since so I wanted to find others who have adopted some T’s other beginners as well some with a lot of knowledge to learn more and hoping I don’t make mistakes and lose anymore of my little buddies! So this is a perfect group to learn and I’m glad I found you all! I’m adopting a grammastola polchra next week, I finally found a sling. If anyone sees this and knows any breeders in Canada or who ship to Canada please let me know I’m having a hard time finding anyone and there’s a few I would like to add to my collection still Thank you [/QUOTE]
