Hi people. Just cant wait to get my new babys tomo! Ive been eagerly awaiting the wether to get warmer so the spider shop will post them. I got the call yesterday saying that the are posting them

Im getting an equador purple pink toe sling and a guyana pink toe sling.

While at work today i was having a nose online and i ended up with a curly hair sling too. I called the shop and luckily they hadnt posted my order yet so they added it

[jon ross]

[Sabeth]

Yay! Can't wait to see pics.

 

[Prudance]

Very cool! I think I'm a little jealous, the A. purpurea is number 2 on my list and they can be hard to find.

Can't wait to see your new additions.

Cant wait to see them.

 

[Charmyknux]

[jon ross]

Not long now!! Come on postman pat!!

 

[Martin Oosthuysen]

Hope you have a lot of joy from these, post some pics when possible.

Hi people. Ive got them, all well and good. Ill post some pics up once im back from the workshop. I niped home and set them up once i got them. Are my actions correct of soaking the subsrate and ringing it right out in my hands and using that? The two pinktoes im not too worried about as they are off the substrate but the curly hair just borrows straight into it so i hope she dont get too cold

 

[Martin Oosthuysen]

The curlys I have, love a dry substrate when they are able to use a water dish.

 

[jon ross]

Right pic time!! Lol just before i show you the new ones i thought id share a pic of my chille posing



Its not a threat pose, see was up at the glass like that for ages lol

Right on with the new additions

This is what i got all together



The babys them selves



I put very small holes in the tubs and my lady done the decore, but we also have a bit of the bark there now too



Originally i only done two jars and put the curly hair in the tub i got the chille in but i think its abit too big so i put her in the third jar with just a little piece of bark for shelter

So heres the babys them selves

The curly hair (shes tiny!!)



Guyana pink toe





Equador purple pink toe, shes a mover this one lol









So now heres my little spider corner

 

[jon ross]

Over all very happy with the outcome but one thing i question is, how the hell do i get hold of those mirco crickets to feed them! I new they were guna be small but jeeze!! Any tips on feeding or general sling care in general would be great

 

[novakdesigns]

Lovely

 

[khatchet]

I have know people to feed them the back legs of large cricket. Also glad you shared I had been waiting to see them.

 

[Prudance]

We crush the heads of regular small crickets and then use the tongs to wiggle them in front of the spider. For our really tiny ones we'll cut a cricket in half and place it inside. I've also used small mealworms or small silkworms when we are out of the crickets.

Oh and your new little ones are adorable.

 

[jon ross]

Thanks for the advise peeps ill give them a couple of days to settle and ill try feeding them. We shall see how it goes lol. Do you think i need a heat source for them? The room is mainly arount the 19-20 degrees c mark

 

[khatchet]

Those temps should be good. That's close to what I keep mine at.

 

[jon ross]

Sweet. Thank you

 

[khatchet]

Not a problem. I hope to see all of them as they grow.
