Dec 31, 2012 · With our new found knowledge of spider anatomy and anatomical directions we can begin to look at various parts of the spider in more detail starting with the carapace.

Jan 17, 2025 · Lol, I need to be more cognizent of European sizing anyway as I love looking at Seledonia.eu. website. You guys in Europe got better pricing on Ts from what I've gathered.

I think that I'd be able to manage caring for a sling even as my first spider, at least one of the hardiest species, and even if most tarantulas grow up real slow I honestly wouldn't mind that. I think raising a spider from a tiny sling to adulthood is a very appealing idea for me.
