Another young tarantula, arboreal, fast growing, fast moving and with a quite strong venom. I've got five slings 7 months ago and now they are between 4 and 6 cm. They build silk tubes in a corner of the enclosure, and exit at night to hunt. You can always see them through the silk but rarely see them in the open. sling: juvenile eating mealworm:

That video Alessandro gave me the shivers It was like watching a horror movie, with drums. Are those meal worms in a circular dish and the spider spun a web over it?

No I keep some of those sling in a glass container, the one used for candies. If you get shivers looking at this, you should try to rehouse one of these arboreals, every time is a challenge. They are super fast and in half a second you can have the spider on your arm or climbing on your back, I must admit I am scared of them sometimes .

Sounds fun, I've seen videos on YouTube where people flood their tanks with carbon dioxide to slow them down or put them to sleep before they move them. Sometime worth thinking about maybe? I find tarantulas more scary when they web lot. I wouldn't be so bad if they didn't
