    She's got lots of space so hoping she's doing her own thing.

    Aww she is cute.
    Haha they are very fast :p

    Rehousing them is really fun.

    Both of mine love their bark tubes going into the substrate. IMO they are labeled arboreal only because they are really good climbers. They both live underground and are almost more of a pet hole than an arboreal. I thought it would change with size but it hasn't yet.

    Makes seeing them out a treat.

    82 / 82 of the A. hentzi made it to 2nd instar. A couple of them had their molt stuck but I used a tiny paintbrush to remove it.
    They also had their first meal. Pinhead crickets cut into 1/3s
    They all seem healthy and active.

    My smithi is getting so big! Shes doubled in size since her last molt, and Im betting her next molt will really show her oranges poppin out! I cant wait. And my new irminia is sooo funny...its like shes playin peek-a-boo with me...when I slowly peek into the room, shes out. But as soon as I get close to her cubicle, *POOF* shes gone! Bet shes hungry....I totally forgot to bring crickets home :( And shes made a nice burrow under the rock, made outta dirt and her webbing. Made a mess of her cubicle tho, flung dirt all over the place. Im soo glad I went with this little one year old rather than a tiny sling...evn tho they were sooo cute. Even at that tiny you could still see the tiger stripes on their teeny little rumps.

    Awesome! Mike, Carlson and myself are over there. :)

    You'll get to see their feet a lot :p

    I'll look for a couple of videos I have of the irminia cleaning herself and moving dirt.
