Picked up this little fella at the weekend! Sorry about the poor pics. Anyone got any advice on any peculiar traits/conditions they prefer etc?

no real advice ... i picked up my sling 1 year ago !! and now shes growing into a very nice T(about 4inch) ... shes still a bit shy ,has only started to come out her burrow for a few hours at a time ! usually when shes looking for food ...who ever said anything was possible has obviously never tried slamming a revolving door

Really? Mine seems very active, and is always sitting in the open. very inquisitive about any noise or light or movement. And very industrious...constantly moving things around etc..Comment

Yours sounds just like Sally, my L. parahybana sling. She's always pushing stuff out of her burrow and piling it up in the same corner she's dug and having it collapse on her again. It's never ending!Originally posted by Ben Cook View Post

Indeed, thats about the only clue! spent a week sneaking up in the dark with infra-red film in my camera on the off chance it went for a nocturnal walk.....god knows if there is anything to show for it but im hoping I can see something on it when it comes back!Originally posted by martin hudson View PostComment

Ha, good luck with that Ben, i think that most of us have, at some time, spent time in the dark,torch in hand, trying to catch a glimps of our more elusive 'Ts' (the crazy world of the tarantula keeper) i'v even bought a light to strap on me head! SAD but true,.
