New Hapolopus Columbia Lg. slings

[MassExodus]

So, I got my new pumpkin patch lg slings, with an extra freebie, and I was impressed with Invertebrates Unlimited, left a good review on N8tive's thread. These are gorgeous spiders, they web a lot, grow fast and have good appetites. I have them all housed to my satisfaction, I'm just letting them settle in (they're already webbing and digging) before I start feeding and taking pictures. Great spiders, though. As soon as I housed them, 3 of them started sticking their legs through the air holes looking to escape, or explore. So I sat and watched them, to make sure they couldn't..these guys go from a sitting position to great speed in a blink, by the way..very fast terrestrials, even as slings. Not as jumpy as I expected though.

I have to say, these are already reminding me of GBB slings. They web a bunch, they climb well, and I just dropped six dubia nymphs into six enclosures, and six nymphs were immediately destroyed, with great enthusiasm. I just fell in love. I recommend these to anyone looking for a new species...they're so small though, I'll try to get better pics in the sunlight tomorrow, the ones I have aren't worth posting.

Ok, I guess the pics will have to wait until they're bigger, my phone camera is not the greatest, maybe I'll get a decent camera from Santa..Anyway, 2nd day feeding went just like the first..lol, fantastic little guys, I really missed having tiny slings. By all reports they grow very fast, and I'm starting to see why..
