That looks much better. Nice looking Spider. Will the leg eventually go back to full size after another molt or two? Or is it full size now? I can't quite tell if it's full size in the bottom picture. Btw, what happened to its leg in the first place?

Yeah I need another top-down shot for good comparison. That one was taken right on the heels of a molt so I didn't really want to shake him out for the sake of a shot (say it fast, go on). I'll try to get some this eve - but from what I could tell in those views the leg is fully returned.

Gosh, its seems amazing to me that you can keep spiders. They creep the heck outta' me. Glad they have people that do liek them though! And great pics!

Dont you love how much brighter spiders look after a molt? :D
