[QUOTE="Redeemer123, post: 67874, member: 4525"] Hi everyone, Just got my first Tarantula today from jamiestarantulas.com. Its only been a couple hours since receiving the sling and I'm certain that i'll be getting more when I'm comfortable raising them. The sling is a Grammostola rosea. I have to say, I was very surprised with the calmness of the sling when I unwrapped it from the paper towel; I half expected it to scurry out and disappear. A little about myself; I'm from Michigan, I study chemical engineering at Kettering university, and I'm 21. I missed having my salt water fish tank before I started college and I wanted a pet but needed something fairly easy to care for. All things considered I decided tarantulas were the route to go for many reasons including; coolness factor and required maintenance. Here's a picture of the little guy/girl, right off the bat i felt like I dropped the ball on substrate depth. I probably should have made it deeper but I decided to leave it alone because I wanted the sling to be left alone and settle in. I'll try to feed it in a few days. [/QUOTE]
