  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Thats one cute lil sling.
However I'm gonna be a total jerk and say what I think everyone should be thinking..
why ya wanna stress your T out and make it shed hairs man?
Not cool.
Don't you know that a T kicking hairs is extremely stressful for them? Sorry but some one had to say it.

I have slings that kick hairs (boehmi) and green bottle blue (when coming up to a molt) that will kick hairs if you even open the lid! I hate stressing them out for that!

thanks for the compliment :) oh and i guess it stresses itself out then b/c it flicks hairs all the time. whether or not i am handling it. it even flicks hairs at its food. .. so i shouldnt feed it b/c it stresses it out? it is fat and has a good habitat so i dont think u should be too concerned about it.

A 'good' habitat and the fact it is 'fat' isn't an indicator of a completely healthy spider.
Infact, spiders shouldn't be overly fat.
If he kicks hairs at everything anyway then I really don't understand why you would want to make it worse :screwy:

I wasn't trying to argue with you, but I really think you need to rethink what you do to your animals and the stress i causes them. Then again I didn't think you'd take advice from anybody, let alone somebody a litttle more experience with spiders. No one on this site ever does :grinno:

P.S - If a spider is flicking hairs at its prey, you should try smaller/different prey items. Hair kickers should rarely be afraid of their food.

Nice lil sling anyway.
