[QUOTE="Tortoise Tom, post: 136974, member: 27883"] I bought a few C. lividum slings a little while ago. Sure they move fast when you transfer them into their new enclosures, but do it carefully and do it in a large tub with catch cups handy, and its no big deal. Any normal person should be able to do it. Here is a thread I made about them: [URL]https://tarantulaforum.com/threads/c-lividum-making-mountains.22174/[/URL] As far as which one to get, opinions will vary. Here is mine: They don't do much for me. The pictures of them on the internet sure are pretty, but you'll never see them, and not all of them color up like that. Twice a week I would refill their water, drop a roach down the hole, and I never saw them once. I ended up selling them. I've raised a few B. smithii, at least that is what they were called when I was doing it, and they are great spiders. They were always out and visible, great eaters, and positively gorgeous. My only complaint is that they tended to flick hairs more than some of my others and were easily provoked to do it. My advice might be a little extreme, but I say get one or two of all of them that interest you. This thread is a great demonstration of how opinions can vary, and the only way to really know what appeals to you is to try them out and see. [/QUOTE]
