Yay! So glad that they are both finally up. Awesome job! And you're not kidding about them venturing out. I've had two up my arm already...that never happens to me! I"m so glad that you two got the chance to hang and that we could do this. So much fun!

I heard moisture for Caribenas is old school and the reason why they often die as slings due to boook lung Fungus ... My two slings were just fine well ventilated and lightly moisted ... The guy I bought them from also had tons of Caribena slings that were not high moisture ... well ventilated and he had no losses ... Wonder why they die ? Too much moisture .... First Spiders I had ... no experience .... no moisture ... no problems ....

Awesome video!I love Versicolors they are beautiful from sling stage all the up to the adult stage. Subbed.

Great video. I totally agree about moisture and slings. I went too far the other way with mine and had tons of ventilation and not enough humidity and paid the price, losing three of my six that way. Now I'm super careful to keep the water dishes full and spray the enclosure and the remaining three slings are doing great. Thanks for making this video.

Just got my first one,and my first arboreal. Really excited to watch it grows. Hope it grows well.

I got a 1cm sling yesterday , great info thankyou X fingers all our slings pull through X

Great info on the Versicolor THANK YOU!!

Hello i just ordered a Versi color sling and this video will help for sure!!

Yay!!! Love this, I bought one of the pretty little babies. Thanks for this video, it's very helpful!

My aviculara aviculara sling at 1/2" is my first spider. I have it in a room thats 25C and 60%-70% humidity. The room is primarily my snake room and my sling enclosure is a 4.5" deli cup upside down with another one with the top cut out and the lid on to make the soil layer. I have a bottle cap for drinking. I dont have to do anything on the top since its bottom opening. The sling made a web 4 days after being in the new enclosure and is eating great. I hope it will grow to adult i was primarily trying to get an aviculara caribena versicolor but they didnt have any. I was told that they are extremely hard to keep as slings but i really wanted to try and figured the room is ideal already for thats species. My first enclosure the breeder said to keep it in was similar to yours but half the size and in that room the sling kept circling the vial and looked uncomfortable after 3 days. So i made a new one with massive amount of cross ventilation and since then it circled for 2 days and since settled down. It has always eaten regularly 2 times a week. I hope im doing everything right i did 4 months prior research on multiple youtube vids and a few breeders before buying the spider. I have gotten later on a bracipelma hamorii as a worst case so i at least have a spider and dam it eats ALOT. I accidentally put in 5 crickets and they were all gone in 3 hours!!

Great video and really helpful. thanks!

Great video. Enjoyed watching it. Thank you for sharing.

Very good video! Very informative.

Thank you very much for appearing on Tom's video.. I want to subscribe to you now so I can learn about sling care. Wow !! you do a awesome care video.. tyvm for producing it.

I have a sling myself...I have 2 but one got stuck in its molt sadly :-(. I'm not sure as to why as I had it moist but yea, great video and I love FearNotTarantulas! Its my favorite "major" site to order from. Love the videos. Great info

Fantastic video, came from Tom. Very new appreciate the information. Also fantastic nails! Such a tiny canvas to work on.

Thank you very much for the quality info

Hearing that they're a very delicate species is mighty discouraging. I've done my reading on standard T care beforehand, but when I went to get mine today and came across this variation; I was told they're decent starters. Ack.

Fantastic video. Really enjoyed it.

Great video! As slings I've always kept them in the drier side and only misting/wetting a section of their web and small portion of the substrate. I always wait for the substrate to dry out and then re-wet it to avoid getting too stuffy inside. I've raised two of these this way in the pill vial kind of enclosure without issues. I also only fed them pre-killed prey until they were about 1.5". I alwayy had issue with live prey ending up at the bottom of the vials or worse, buried dubias.

Excelente video saludos desde México

Good video Rachael! I keep my C versicolor sling and 12 Avicularia geroldi slings a bit different but the basics are the same. I want to do a care video on them too but I want to wait a bit till they have grown some more, but I have had about 4 succesful molts from the C versicolor and the first one of the 12 A geroldi slings has molted succesful into 2nd instar :D I also have a 1,1 juvinile or sub-adult (not sure when they are what really) Avic Avic that are doing great :D

Hi there :) I've headed over from Toms channel after watching the collab you did with him. This has come at the best time for me as I'm having a Versicolor sling delivered next week and I feel a lot more confident on its care now. So, great video, and a thumbs up and a subscribe from me :)

Great video. I haven't seen Tom's video yet, so I will pop over there and have a look. Big thumbs up and sub #94. Cheers Rob WCA

great video and information i just subscribed

You should get a microphone and then turn down the introduction music. You're so quiet and I turned the volume all the way up them I was assaulted with EXTREAMLY LOUD MUSIC! That being said thanks for the information it's exactly what I wanted to know.

New sub 👌😎

Cute little guys!

Hi Rachael.. down the road could you please give us an update on the Caribena versicolor slings.. like a feeding and how they doing. Thank you.

Great video. I just paired my Lasiodora parahybana with a mature male i got from Deen's Tarantulas on a breeding loan. I'm trying to get my room set up to start doing videos. Now once my CV make a web i spray the web. They will drink from the web.

hi i know that there is a low chance you will see this but can you tell me more about that tape of spiter ty

hey:) what kind of enclosure is the one for the juvenile? I'm planning on rehousing mine soon but I still need a bigger and better enclosure

I got one of them it’s spiderling so exciting when they shed

Does the vial have holes only in the top or the main part as well? Just got 3 of them and want to make everything right, they are AMAZING. Thank you

If anyone can help me quickly that’s great.. I have a juvenile pink toe and I had 3 different enclosures for it - I originally got a tub because I didn’t realize it was so small so I put it into a pickle jar with dirt and a piece of wood to climb - and a water dish.. the only thing I’m worried about is it not finding it’s food in a shorter enclosure.. I have a third one which isn’t tall but it’s a bit longer and idk what to do - I want to make sure it’s healthy and I’m fretting too much about it not finding it’s crickets

What type of containers are the smaller ones? I'm trying to find the perfect container for a .75 caribena versicolor

Amazing video, greatbtarantula channel

i know first hand i lost a few slings even though i done every thing right, i gave up and just went for an older one managed to keep it a year then it passed away through a bad moult x

Thinking s see voir getting one of these

how big should they be as a juve, i've brought one of these from a local shop and they told me he is a juve but when i look at him/her they can't be no bigger than 3/4cm . is this right or have i been sold a sling. plus do they start getting their purple hairs as a juve or is that just as a adult..... as you can tell i'm quite new too owning T's

I really want to add some Caribena versicolor to my collection. At the moment is not being easy to find in EU :(

I really wish someone had told me about how flighty they are as slings when I purchased it. Just got it, love it, and I hope it survives. Scares me sometimes with how fast they are.

What enclosure did you use?

Mine seems to be dying Iv only had it for about 24 hours and it just keeps sitting at the bottom of its cage :,(

Is it me or is the Link to Tom's video missing? Can't find it.

How can you tell when if you have too much ventilation? I actually made holes all around but I think I could have over done it. Lol

How fast do they grow?

Can you pet, stroke and handle them?

Pointing out the importance of cross ventilation and showing something else is a bit strange

Hello, come over from Tom's spiders.

AAAHHHHHHH VOLUME CONTROL!

I appreciate your content but would love it even more if you would mix your audio a little better. The intro is just a little too loud 😅

everybody has labels for their Tarantulas, I feel so unprofessional.

Hello. Do you sell tarantula? I need some supplies. Thanks.

Sound is too low
