Now after a several year hiatus, I got the "bug" again, this time B. Boehmei. Not as docile but gorgeous. I have had her about 4 months and she lived where she was for a couple of years. She was a sling when the original folks got her. At 4 going on five she is a beautiful immature. She has quite the excavation going and is a great eater. Looking forward to trying a Greenbottle Blue sling, C. cyaneopubescens. So far she hasn't given me the urticating bristle treatment and has shown no aggression. She will take 2 crickets at once and hold them and dine at her leisure. There is a lot more information now than when I started and it is refreshing to see fellow enthusiasts.</p></blockquote><p></p>
