I had gotten my first T at a pet store(c. Sellatus), then ordered 4 slings online. My advice is to not buy slings yet. Out of those 4 slings, I only have 2 left. I believe one (c. Versicolor) died because I didn’t provide proper ventilation. My other one, b. Emilia or b. Hamorii (couldn't tell) I believe died bc my room was too cold. My c. Sellatus died bc it was a male(was definitely looking for a female) and also I believe it had a parasite. So now i have only my b. Albopilosum (who is growing so fast :’) and b. Hamorii or Emilia(can’t tell yet lol). I regret spending $ on slings, I feel like I should’ve just gotten an adult. But oh well. I just got a juvenile avic avic so we’ll see how that goes. Sorry this might not be very useful.</p></blockquote><p></p>
