Well its nice to see im not the only "noobie" on the forum. What T's do you have Aviculture? Im hoping my 2 are doing fine; they have both started webbing up there new enclosures. The only thing im slightly worried about is the versicolor has started webbing right at the top (of corse) and hes...
Of course this is the A. Versicolor. Unfortunately the purple tree spider bolted into its hiding spot so il have to wait a while before getting any photos of him/her.
Both slings arrived alive and well, ive just finished successfully rehousing both of them and they seem quite happy and active. The versicolor did give me a small heart attack though and i thought it had died in the post; turns out it had molted in the post :)
Thanks for the advice! Ive got a larger container i can fit the new enclosures in and an extra catch up and a nice clean paint brush. Now its just depends on how tricky the sling wants to be! Im sure it will all go fine and ive done plenty of research and watched loads of unboxing videos...
Im hoping to get a few nice photos of them but im also slightly nervous that slings are known to bolt haha. Its going to be an interesting experience unpacking them for sure!
Thanks everyone; unfortunately the weather here is still pretty terrible so Phil hasn't been able to send them to me yet. I have however had more time to get the enclosures ready. Im planning on using this for the purple tree spider :)
Sorry about the image size
Thanks for the info, although ive read that the c. versicolor needs mainly lots of cross ventilation aswell as holes in the top so il be sure to have both :) I also plan on doing any maintenance and rehousing in the bath tub for the Tapi as like you said, they are true teleporters haha...
If anyone has any tips on these 2 species or suggestions on tools/bits i should buy my ears are wide open :) I want to get all the info i can to hopefully prevent the C. versicolor sling death phenomenon ive read about
Phil really does seem like a spider pro; hes been really helpful and answered all the questions ive been naggin him with and more! What have you got coming in the post then @Enn49?
Thought id quickly come and say hello to everyone.
I have been reading though the forum for a good few weeks now and now that ive taken the plunge and ordered a couple of T's I thought i better make an account. I've kept lizards and snakes for the last 15 years along with a few other "normal"...
