Hey Doc, I know you are a few hours from Fort Myers so I thought I would give you a heads up in case you are interested, there is a guy on Craig's List Fort Myers selling Smithi slings for $20 each. I'm picking one up tomorrow since he's 10 minutes away. I spoke with him and he's pretty...
I can definitely see the similarities. I rather enjoy this T as he settles in to his habitat. I love watching him hunt his prey. National Geographic in action !!! Thanks fellas !
Chubbs and Nicholas again thanks for the info. I'm starting to see its traits now that he's settled in a bit. Very little webbing but he's dug under the cork bark and has two or three holes he pops out of. Yes a magician of sorts as one minute he's hanging on the side of the habitat, the next he...

The speed of this Juvie T was eye opening. I sat there and watched it jump from the top of the enclosure to the cork branch, to the ground and back. I was a little reluctant to take him, but knowing my friend I could imagine the worst. I won't be opening up this guy's habitat unless I need to...
