Congrats on the new sling,nice looking enclosure I'm sure he will be very happy in there.
Is that the T.stirmi slings that TSS have in stock just now? I was thinking of ordering one along with a P.vorax, as it's been a few years since I've had a stirmi sling and would be fun to raise one again......
It's a H.maculata,Here's a pic of my female for comparison.
As your new to the hobby please be carefull with this T as there lightning fast and you don't want to get bitten by them as that would ruin your week for sure....
I actually have three names that I would nominate to be mods provided they would be willing to do it.
They are @Scoolman,@[email protected] one or all of them would make excellent mods IMO,As they are all level-headed

I'm glad to hear that's she's still hanging on hopefully she'll make it to the next moult and will be fighting fit again,I'll keep my fingers crossed for you both and remember T's are a lot more hardier than most people think.....
+1 For what Nicolas C said,the only thing I would add is althought P.muticas is the second largest Baboon Tarantula in Africa their very slow growers,therefore don't get to worried if your T dosent take food every time you offer it as long as you offer food every week then it will eat when it's...

Great work Therasoid very nice looking enclosure as always.
Is that cholla wood you have in the first enclosure? I've thought about using it in some of my arboreal sling enclosures but haven't try it yet......

The best way I have found to apply the glue is to use a plastic drinking straw and only use a very small amount of glue over the wound,this way the glue drys in a minute or so and by only using a small amount it helps prevent any...
@bookac,I use these's for all my Avics they come in different sizes so can be used for juveniles and adults.
I get mine from eBay in the UK and can be bought singalarly or in bulk.....
Any of the brachys would be excellent for your next addition,their easy to keep and all of mine are great feeders,plus every collection should have at least one of the brachys in it.
Here's some pics of my three favourite brachys in my collection.....
B.baumgarteni
B.annitha
B.albiceps
Slings require more moisture than their adult counterparts,I keep my dry species slings on slightly moist substrate,and don't let them dry out completely I also give a water dish to all my slings and I gut load my feeders for 24hrs before feeding time as slings get most of their moisture from...
