Ew, yes I read that last night - I did lots of reading on T's last night, lol. I rolled the pinhead a bit between my fingers before putting it in with the little T, so it was stunned and didn't put up a fight. I'll be sure to monitor feeding!

I read these (Brachypelma albopilosa) get between 3 and 5 inches. They are found in the central tropical regions of northern Costa Rica and Honduras. They burrow and are found on the rainforest floor around the base of large trees, near rivers, so I'll be making it a small viv with burrowing material and condusive to keeping the humidity around 75%.

I read that while they are babies like this, they should stay in the deli cup - they're like babies and it's like their crib, so all they have to do is eat, sleep, and poop, lol. They won't hunt yet, so putting it in a larger container could prohibit it from eating properly.

Here's what it will look like:
