Hey, yesterday I ordered two slings. One was a g pulchripes and the other, a b smithi. Is there any special requirements I need to take into action with 1 inch slings??????

@clayzach3

I made a special video primarily dealing with slings (watch?v=hmBiIIxS7xw). Keep them like adults but on a LOT smaller scale, and keep the substrate moist rather than have a water dish

Hey does the water jell sig work

@Tbabymarley

I'm not sure I've never tried it. It probably work for crickets better than Ts

Again, like monstersilk, you're fortunate to live in an area where T breeding is prosperous compared to Canada, where the hobby is unfortunately less popular. Hardly people breed Brachypelma here therefore are rare, and slings are be imported from elsewhere :( If it's cheap for you, great. But please don't rub it in. Its hard to find any T here at a decent price

B. Smithi here in the philippines are lot more cheaper, I got my 5inches, Female for 1500php, that's like 35 US dollars....and you can get slings for 8-10 dollars ;-) so cheap isn't it? and nice video man!

Yeah! never changed my mind a bit.. all your videos helped me understand most of these guys..

@JudgeMEntx014

it shouldn't deter you from not getting it. It's a very nice, and very colorful species and it's a 10x better beginner than a G.rosea

@Jon3800 man.. too bad.. anyway Thank you..
