They look lush.  But I did definitely go for a larger female for my first because I wanted the knowledge that it wouldn’t be male, I wanted a long relationship and a robust size. I think also slings burrow, I have a couple that are totally sealed. Even if I drop food they wait till I am gone to get it. The hairs worried me but now they don’t as I am super careful. No handling at all, tongs, and my biggest kicker (A Geniculata) I always wear gloves and long sleeves. Never experienced any itching even when I rehoused her. My Bumba Horrida is adorable.</blockquote>
