Message: <blockquote data-quote="NorseDad" data-source="post: 184889" data-attributes="member: 30858">I've been looking for a while for a T. stirmi sling or small juvenile, but I haven't had any luck.  I don't usually like to buy long distance because I don't want the risk of shipping issues or the costs involved in overnight delivery.  I wanted a Theraposa for the size factor, the higher challenge of care, and also because I read that they tend to be more forgiving of humidity than T. blondi.  I don't think I'd have a problem living in FL with a good care regimen.  My local breeder recently got a shipment of 2" T. apophysis, and they asked if I'd be interested since I've asked them to keep their eyes out for me.How does the T. apophysis compare to the stirmi in terms of care?  Are they more less or about the same in terms of tolerance and resilience?  Thank you for any and all advice.</blockquote>
