Thanks Laura. The little sling does seem a bit fat. I think it is due to shed sometime here soon. If it doesn't it won't explode will it? It only gets 2 little crickets a week.

Since I did suprisingly survived the experience, it wasn't as bad as I though it was going to be. Although I was a bit shocked to see how much my hands shook afterward. It really was VERY difficult for me to take this step, but one that I felt I needed to take.

HEE HEE!!

I felt if I could brave Chuck E Cheese for my son's birthday party (on a Saturday no less) then a teensy spider was nothing.

I know if I can do it, then you can too. Baby steps girl... baby steps.

I will see if I can get a picture of the underside, but I not quite ready to pick him/her up just yet. I'm still very shaky on the whole let it walk onto my hand thing.

In fact, I have some time to kill while I bake some cookies so I think I might try and get them here in a minute. Wish me luck on getting a good picture.
