Welcome Tabitha! I am the friend that you refer to in your opening post! Nice to see you here too! They sure are addictive! As of today, I have 8 tarantulas and 2 jumping spiders. In fact my spiders now outnumber my hairy and scaly pets!

Hi Tabitha! Yes, it's me! As you already know, the new baby arrived OK! Forvthise that don't know me on Facebook, I got a teeny tiny B. Albopilosum Nicaragua sling today! Cute l'il thing!

Thanks everyone! Here's another pic.

Haha! Yep! I guess I am! I also want an Arizona Desert blonde and a B. Boehmei!

Just a little update! Since I posted this, I have picked up a Hamorii juvenile, an Emilia sling and a B. Albop Nicaragua juvenile. Now on the search for a B. Auratum! Nothing is big enough to go in that tank yet.

Just got a couple more clearer ventral pics. Do these help? @KezyGLA and @Thistles

I thought it was about time I posted some more pics of my lot! I have 2 Versi slings, Stompy and Strider, but only one is easy to photograph. Then there's Pookie the Hamorii, Tango the tiny Emilia and my latest addition, Furby the Albopilosum Nicaragua.

Thanks everyone! They have definitely grown and are both doing really well.!

Whoop! Female? That's what I was thinking! If you zoom in on the ventral photo the 'slit' part isn't straight across, like it has indents either side. I can't wait until it moults again. I'll know what I'm doing next time! Thank you both!

Well, finally it has eaten this morning! On Sunday I made a tiny hide out of a bottle cap since it hadn't burrowed still. It spent all day yesterday in it and this morning I found it eating a prekilled mealworm that I had put in last night. It's still munching it's way through it! So, it would...

Today, one of the Versi slings has been out and about looking beautiful after its recent moult! I was brave and took the lid off to get some pics. It's looking rather splendid!

Thanks guys! She's really cute! My local exotics shop owner went to the IHS Doncaster show and picked her up for me. Bigger ones were a lot of money, but at least she's not a tiny sling.

Today I bought home tarantula number 5, a juvie Brachypelma Albopilosum Nicaragua, named Furby Fuzzbutt. Looking forward to this one getting more fluffy with each moult! I put a bottle cap water bowl in after the photo.

Around 10 days ago I got a B. Emilia sling. Right now it looks more like an 8 legged baked bean! It hasn't eaten since it arrived, it runs away from food and ignored pre killed. I guess it may be in pre moult or just selling in still. It's water bowl is an empty ibuprofen blister!

Th Thank you! He is rather lovely, I'm quite smitten with him!
