Tell me, do you think the vendors you buy from have their slings and adults all in nice terrariums, set up with cover and hides? They don't. The slings are in shipping vials until theyre sold. Adults are in anything big enough to hold them, and stacked like books, until theyre sold. They're fed of course, and Im not knocking dealers, but now look back at pet stores, with their avics in little critter keepers..doesn't seem so different, right? The last spider you purchased could have sat in a cup just like that t stirmi, for months. Somethin to chew on before jumping on the I hate pet stores bandwagon. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /></p></blockquote><p></p>
