New Spiderlings

My new spiderlings arrived yesterday and they are amazing,

but i was wondering if i should leave them settle in a couple of days before feeding them?

by **dee** on Sat Feb 23, 2008 1:33 pm

i feed mine the day they arrive and give them water to rehydrate them most of them eat as soon as they are in the new homes

what did you get ?

by **cactusfat** on Sat Feb 23, 2008 1:37 pm

Just put them in my signature

Been doing ALOT of reading and managed to talk my other half into getting them!
He actually held one of my chilean rose s'lings too! :shock:

Trinidad Chevron
Cobalt Blue
Greenbottle Blue
Ornate Black & White
Brazilian Salmon Pink Bird Eater

Chilli is really skittish and moves like the wind (not as fast as the cobalt tho, that is one speedy T

)
Voodoo is a little bigger and is really calm so we had a hold of her!
Was the first time we have handled them and my other half suggested it! :shock:

Dont think i'll be handling the cobalt, shes like lightening i'd be frightened of loosing her shes only small!

Just been feeding the GBB, she is soooo pretty, shes about 3cm and already has a beautiful orange stripey abdomen can't wait fo the other colours to come out!

obt? orange baboon?

Yeah she was wondering around last night most likley looking for a place to burrow i put a partly cut off walnut shell and a silk ivy leaf for her to hide and she has encorporated both in making her burrow, no sign of her this morning.

Hi Cactus, thought it was this forum I remembered you from, tee-hee.

You should do a search on YouTube for fast tarantula, there's a couple of vids on there of the Cambridgei, wow they're fast!!!!!

And, hello again Dee, the white knee is doing terrific. Fast and very entertaining.
