Just a pic of my new Acanthoscurria geniculata. This is my first sling (but definitely not the last), so wish me luck! :)

Nice sling Chris, update the pics as he/she grows, it'd be interesting to see the changes every few months.

Will do! I'm planning on ordering a couple more so will post pics as soon as I have them. Easier to care for 6 than it is to care for 1. I think :)

agree, it's much more fun having a couple of slings to look after,
otherwise it feels like AGES before it molts again.....
If you have a few slings/T's, you're surprised every now and then when one molts out.

what other slings are you planning on getting Chris?
