So be prepared for a small sling to take a few years to reach even  juvenile size. We are lucky in the UK & have several really good suppliers.  Other than the spider shop, who are excellent, there are also  So Many Legs, Portsmouth Tarantulas, Bugz UK, Spider Planet & probably numerous others I have forgotten.If you buy an adult, be aware males are very short lived by comparison to females.</blockquote>
