Went early to the local reptile show today and picked these up:
2 H. maculata slings barely 1/2"
1 H. hainanum 2 1/2"
1 C. huahini 3"
1 P. scofra 2 1/2"
Had to rescue the P. scofra, was in a 12 oz container with a dead cricket and a thin, I mean see the bottom thin, of coco fiber, a sponge and standing water. Poor thing was clinging at the top and didn't budge when I picked up the container. Will be rehoused 1st, to a larger appropriate enclosure. [emoji4]
I wish I had brought more $$, there was a large A. seemani female that is on my "to get" list. [emoji17]
Time to rehouse the new additions. [emoji3]

Thanks. My P. cambridgi slings are doing near the same thing, webbing looks like a "lean to" with substrate mixed throughout. Hard to see them, but they seem to be content. If the H. maculata do the same I'll be happy for them. [emoji4]

That is quite a horde! 5 surpasses my single reptile show acquisition number. Fantastic species. How many T's are you up to now?

Today's purchase upped my sling count to 35 with 51 juvie and adults. Most I've bought at the show was 11, all slings between 4 species.
Good thing I only bring cash or I'd be so poor that I couldn't pay attention. Lmao!!
