Baby Ball's First Week Home!
Our beautiful baby arrived today and we could not be more pleased! We have put her in her viv and are letting her settle in. How long should we give her to chill out on her own before we try to feed her or handle her in general? She didn't seem terribly shy when we fished her out of the box. She wasn't balled up and she started slithering between my fingers after a minute or two. However, since we put her in the vivarium two hours ago, she's just hidden in her hot side hide and hasn't really explored at all, so I think she might be more shy than I originally thought.

Is the new one the female spider that is in your signature block?
x2 that is exactly what I do.
