New additions

Well what a busy 2 days ive had, my collection has increased from 2 Ts, now i have 7 [emoji2] Received 3 p.metalica slings yesterday, aswel as a p.smithi sling that was a freebie. Then today ive received a g.pulchra sling. Not had chance to take photos yet though, ill let them settle in and have their first meals in their new homes then ill take some. Just thought id share the news haha.
Also after reading about it ive decided to keep the p.metalicas communally until they get bigger then ill split them up, im hoping ive got a female as im planning on breeding them when they mature.

congrats...and good luck keeping them together. That is an awfully expensive spider to take risks with like that. But think of me when u breed. lol also we love pics round here!

Just a quick update, all slings doing well. The 3 p.metalicas that im keeping communally seem to be getting along as far as tarantulas go, ive got 2 fake plants in the enclosure with them and all 3 of them have been hidden in the same one, so far so good. The p.smithi has done abit of exploring round its enclosure, sometimes its in the fake plant, sometimes its on the floor, ive seen it up on the lid once. The g.pulchra (ive named it apollo) has done abit of wondering about but mostly stays in its hide. Ive tried all 3 species with pre killed mealworms left in over a 24 hour period but only apollo has eaten. I will try to get some photos soon and put them up.

Awesome bunch of T's you have there man!
You are seriously making me jealous with the G.pulchra and P.metallica! Those are 2 t's that I've been dreaming of for months now!

Thanks, i already have a juv b.smithi and juv t.stirmi, now these have made great additions. I was quite nervous if im honest about keeping the metalicas together, but i just had to try it and hope for the best. Fingers crossed they stay friendly to each other. Im going to split them up when they get bigger though and give them individual enclousures. I cant wait to see all the colours pop when they grow, and im really excited about the g.pulchra growing, that velvet black colour they get is amazing.

Better to separate them sooner than later! It would absolutely suck to lose one. But yeah have to agree the G.pulchra is going to be absolutely gorgeous! And nice and bulky
