    Is my B.Auratum sling ok?

    Hi guys. I am just new to the hobby. I got my first T last July which is a GBB sling. Today I got 2 new slings (B.Auratum and LP both 1.5") and I am a bit worried about my Auratum. She seems weak because when I transfered her to her enclosure, its like she doesn't want to move . I tried to push...

    C. versicolor Sling enclosure help

    Hey fellow Tarantula keepers, recently I got my first aboreal T as a sling. I'm keeping 2 terrestial T's currently (1 B. hamorii (ex. smithi) at 6cm length and 1 G. pulchripes that I got as a sling who's grown to 2,5cm) I'm not really sure what enclosure is optimal for a C. versicolor sling...

    Help with my sling!

    Hey y’all! I just got my first sling (an a. Hentzi) and he keeps climbing the walls of his enclosure (even going as far as to climb onto the ceiling!) he is in a very small enclosure - a Jamie’s Tarantula’s sling enclosure, and I have maybe three inches worth of substrate in his tank. He hasn’t...

    Amateur Macro Shots - Acanthoscurria geniculata slings

    Threw the cheap macro lens adaptor on my phone and took a few photos of my whiteknee slings. Quite a short focal range on it. Planning to do some focus stacking in the future to try and capture all of the deltails. Need to invest in a macro lens for my DSLR now that I have something tiny to...

    Acanthoscurria geniculata slings in their new pots

    Just transferred my Whiteknee slings to a new pot (bit early but wanted to see them clearer without disturbing them) and thought I'd take a couple shots. They're invert viewing pots, so have a magnifying lid, which is quite nice for seeing all their little details. They're out of direct light...

    Too young?

    How old do they have to be? I have a GBB sling that’s about 1/2” and a good under belly shot. I attached the photo just in case. I also suck at sexing.

    Is this a pamphobeteus sp flammifera sling?

    A friend sent me a picture from a small mom and pop pet shop saying that they were not sure even what to put it as or how to price it. They have it labeled as a pamphobeteus sp flammifera but the slings that I see online look like they have darker legs and the pattern looks just a tad different...

    How to spot an escape artist in the making.

    My S. Cal, Telle, caught in the act of testing her enclosure borders. I think it's a female because her growth is significantly slower than most her age. So my conclusion is either she's an escape artist in the making, a velociraptor in a spider's costume, or a reincarnated security guard...

    I'm extremely happy seeing that this little one has enjoyed a big meal last night. Now I just want it to molt and take a one step further away from the delicate sling state.

    G. Pulchra Pre-molt or just living her best life?

    Hello all, relatively new to the hobby, got my first T about 18 months ago, but first time sling owner. I've got an adult striped-knee, and previously had a pink-toe who, unfortunately was lost to a molting accident, so I tend to get nervous around molts, especially any of my babies first one...
