I have two sling at the moment. The first being a Aphonopelma chalcodes. (Burry) Who got the name the first night we got "him" (Because I see the personality as male). He took the chance to dig a two inch burrow under his hide the moment we turned out backs, and we ( myself and my fiance) thought he had escaped. The second would be the G. Rosea. (Trouble) who got "her" name the first night as well. (I see the personality as female) She was hyper from the moment we opened her. Running every which way she could, and even attempting to force her body through her lid of her container. Also she seems to hate plastic. Both of my little ones are .5 inches at the moment. With Burry in his blocked off burrow molting I do believe.I am here because I find the creatures astonishing. Even down to how each one feeds. Burry only accepts food when he is in his burrow, and then will parade his kill around his encloser. Trouble will run to the oter side of the encloser, and then start a game of cat, and mouse. Again I just started, and have a lot of questions that my fiance seems to be getting annoyed with. Thank you for your time everyone.</blockquote>
