Wow nice suit sir

Just over a month ago my Parvula moulted and became a bit of a recluse I've caught the odd fleeting glimpse now and then, apart from a quick picture after the moult there's been nothing except the cricket, roach bolus etc. Well today while checking my T's and clean water dishes I noticed a familiar shape upside down on the lid of the enclosure right above the hide (which is ceramic). All the time ive had this t it's been really skittish so I knew any movement could end in a fall and I needed to move enclosure to get to another so I made a quick choice shallow catch cup or hand I went with hand as it was quicker. I was shocked to see how beautiful this t as become since the last moult and just how calm it's suddenly become.

Bold move ;p but wow what a beaut

Have you raised it from a sling an if so, how long did it take to attain this size? Gorgeous spider btw.

Thanks I was half expecting to get tagged but thought I'll survive if the t falls and hits the hide it might not

Thanks the picture doesn't do it justice in the flesh it looks like it's been spray painted by Banksy lol. I bought this t as a juvenile but when it arrived it was more of a sub adult in size around 2-2.5" now it's touching 3.5" roughly and its taken over a year to grow an inch or so

I'd do this with almost all of my T's including my gbb, she's really chilled. The only 1 I would hesitate with is my really old mature female nhandu coloratovillosus that girl is so grumpy she makes my gbb seem like a saint even on a bad day

Banksy the graffiti artist? lol I dig the pop culture reference. Took me a minute to place the name. lol I was just wondering the growth rate of these because I'd love to add one. It would probably be best to get these as juvies/sub adult while I have youth on my side. lol

From the research I did the growth rate is said to be medium to fast. But being a dwarf it will be really tiny as a sling no doubt
