Meet "Chewy". This little squirt has been in my care for over two years now. I forget where i even got him. He is a whopping 1.25" and grows at a rate of 0. Which would make me lean very heavily towards this one being a female. But its hard to say, either way chewy got his name from chewing on the vent holes in his deli cup. But to the moral of this story. For atleast the last year i have thought that chewy has had no eyes. Every time i have looked at him i have thought this, and have thought about getting some pics to get some closer looks, but have put it off. Well finally today i got out my scope, and got him under it. Turns out my theory was correct, no eyes! I figured i was right because even at a foot away when looking at ewls and 1st instars, you can see with the naked eye, their eyes. But at his size his eyes should have been easily visible. So looks like this is one rare and strange little tarantula. But he is still a gentle and precious little squirt nonetheless. Thoughts?
