[QUOTE="Jeef, post: 218854, member: 36825"] I never wanted a sling. I didn't even know how to take care of one when I got one as a freebie with my first tarantula. It was a T. albo. I am beyond grateful for that because I wouldn't have a) gotten a sling and b) gotten a T. albo otherwise. Raising it up from something smaller than my pinkie nail to the size it is now has been pretty neat to watch. That said, I'm too old to be buying any Brachypelma or Aphonopelma slings. I get bigger ones when it comes to those guys. If I see something that grows relatively quickly as a sling, I grab them. Or I should say, I've started grabbing them. When I started, I thought I was just going to get Brachypalmas. I am proud to report that has completely fallen apart because of the things I learned. Get what you want, but don't be surprised if your attitude changes when you start learning more. [/QUOTE]
