    Mine is still tiny but wow. I cant even follow that webbing or what she has going on in there. Plus she has a huge burrow going on.

    Ok, lights off for about an hour so I sneaked back in.
    She is looking awesome!!!

    When they are that small they can / will eat Fruit flies, roach legs or cricket legs, she could take down a tiny pinhead cricket.
    What I like to do when I have only one or two tiny slings. I'll leave a small slice of fruit out and collect a few maggots from fruit flies. They eat them right up.
    The only pinheads I can pick up local, you have to buy a box of 30 (so that's a waste) a whole culture of fruit flies is a waste too. I'll also toss them in a leg here and there. After a few feedings it will be able to take down a new born roach.

    Here is one about a year old now.

    I'm pretty sure he's a jumping spider because of his eyes but not really 100% sure.

    Yeah that's some type of Jumper. They are almost always hairy with a flat little face.
    I had a bunch over the summer lay sacs for me. If you keep it, they are awesome to watch. They will stalk and hunt their prey. :)

    A threat pose is always cool to see but not when my hand is near :p

    I'll be transferring a P. irminia tonight. Wish me luck.

    Have a cool little set up for him. (Hope this one is a him). I'll post pics in a bit

    Well it wasn't bad. He came out and ran around the outside of his new home. After a few minutes he went inside. By the time I grabbed my phone he was down in his hide.

    Gave him 2 hides at different angles, they are both down in the soil. I'm also trying a wider instead of taller enclosure with him.

    I gotta extra ten gallon with the screen top would that work for a rose hair they have them at pet co bout size of my fist. The top is one that you twist the screw things and it tightens

    That will work.
    Personally I would get a sling so you can watch it grow. A Rose Hair that size is going to be pretty old. If its a male, his next molt could be his final molt.

    Just something to think about.

    Well as it seems a great fellow has offered to help me out with a sling!! ;) haha I have the perfect spot for a T cage that's in perfect view. Now it's time to wait patiently and get everything set. Do I need a uth? My rooms temp is set to 80 at the normal

    :D

    80* is good. If I remember right, a Chilean rose is good between 75-85*

    My T room stays right around 80-82* and they are doing great. No UTH needed.

    Yeah. At that size and age, she might only molt once a year if that.

    They grow very slow compared to others.

    These spiders are about the same age.
