[QUOTE="Cjh, post: 48448, member: 3937"] Reads well. Looks alright. Personally I don't know. I am one of those people who bought a pink toe at a pet store and had it live this long, so far. I don't know much about the sling raising. I think at that age they would be difficult to raise. I am no expert pink toe keeper. It all seems so easy, but, pet stores worth their salt don't carry slings I guess due to possible profit loss associated. How about orchids, starting one of those from seed is a fantastic adventure in clean, science and time spent. Getting slings online is real risky. The sites I have seen, kind of sketchy at best. Seriously, what if someone thought it was a pink toe and it turned out to be something very dangerous instead? Pink toes seem easy to identify as slings though. Since I am not an entomologist no slings for me. I wouldn't want to risk loosing my money with some of these sites, the majority of them selling slings. Pink toes are a valuable little spider in the scientific community right now, with what is known about them and the things being done with research on their venom.
