Can't find my cyriocosmus leetzi

[BelgianWaffle]

Hey guys!

I recently purchased a c. leetzi, on the website that I purchased it from it said the sling would be about 5mm. On arrival it looked much much smaller, I measured it and it was about 2mm. Not a problem but that thing was super small, I carefully got it into it's little pot but I've lost it in the substrate...

I'm sure it's absolutely fine but since I haven't fed it yet (going to wait a day or two) so I don't actually know where it is...

Has anyone else had the same experience with these slings and if so, how did you even know it was alive?

Cheers

Tarantulas are often referred to as “pet holes” for a reason haha

I can totally see why! At this point I'm wondering if I ever even put it in there...

Geez, that's tiny! It should hopefully be fine. Even if you don't see it now, I'm sure if you put a prekilled food piece in there, you'll see the little guy show up eventually to munch on it.
