I am curious Goldenspider, how did you measure the tarantula? from head to toe, or from the one back leg to the opposite front leg....aka legspan.....???

With you on tht one Scarab... This did not send the right message :dry:

Goldenspider,

Fangs is definitely one of the most trust worthy people I've met, especially in this trade.

There are a few things that you should consider. Most slings are about 1.5cm. That's the leg span and not standing size!

I have Cycolosternum fasciata, that's damn small, and you know what they eat x-small crickets. I don't even bother with pin heads.

So if you cant feed them, then you should have done some research before purchasing slings! Or have a look at your setup and temps.

Fangs did not post anything probably because is as well fed up with all the politics and clearly comments like yours.

Being a man of integrity, he will respond. He was away from his computer on Friday, hence the silence.

I must however agree that petty BS and childish politics, overly emotional posts and disrespectful behavior towards legends in the hobby has seen many of the most knowledgeable keepers/breeders run for cover.

Since I became a member of this forum, I have witnessed the departure of at least seven members who could have made a huge contribution to the hobby through their membership here. This is a faceless environment where idiocy and genius have to co-exist. Seemingly, as in life, the less favorable gets the upper hand more often than not.

Hi all!

@ Goldenspider- You are new to the hobby, dont shoot yourself
in the foot!

Ive been in the hobby af tarantula keeping & breeding before you were born!

A B boehmei is already 1cm when it turns into 2nd instar, your t i sent
you is 3rd instar! so how the F do you get a .5mm boehmei? The T you got is
+ - 1.5cm like you ordered!

And the second T i sent is a free curly hair!

If you are unhappy with the order send it back to me please, ill
gladly give your R200 you paid for the spiders inc postage back!!

Instead of being greatfull you come on to an open forum & shoot your mouth!?

I hope you will be more weary about what you say in the future! :dry:
