Yay! I just received 4 gorgeous wee OBT's from kenny.! They arrived happy and healthy.

OMG are they little nutters!!!! I had one in my armpit before I knew where it was heading! Thanks goodness my nephew was here watching me unpack them.

Pics later, after I stop shaking and they stop cussing me.

Congratulations! :) You got four of them?! Is that to increase your odds of getting the gender you're hoping for?

That, and slings are just awesome. Plus, I increase my chances of having extras to trade later. If I can stand to part with one. :)

It happens fast...the first few you get excited over a 1/4 in, then all of a sudden they are doubling and tripling in size. Some of my 1/4-1/2 inch slings I got last November are 3-4 inch T's now.

I have to admit, they are a bit intimidating, even if they are so small. They are so dang fast and just dart off like mad. I know four wee slings who will be fed and such in the bathtub until I get used to them.

They are so cute though. They have all 4 already started webbing up little nests!

Yeh I bet they are speedy. Shame you cant clicker train them like a dog.
That would be extremely convenient:D my birdeater just molted a couple of days ago, and boy oh boy did she get her long legs back and great sharpness and speed came with it, still he/she is the best one for handling. Aragon is too but, my Rosie and Chaco avoids me lol

Heh, too late. These things are INSANE!!! How are you supposed to open the containers and feed the little orange ninjas?!?!?!

I was trying to mist them tonight and I think I about had a panic attack!
