I would imagine a taller deli cup would be good enough for him/her

+1 on the L. Violaceopes. Mine is 7" and purple as hell. Here is a pic that I just posted today. Unfortunately under my cameras flash she actually shows up blue but hey, as long as I can enjoy the purple that's all that matters to me http://www.arachnoboards.com/ab/gallery/showimage.php?i=33323&c=36

LOL that comment tickled my insides. I've noticed they show up blue a LOT in pics. I think that's pretty cool actually that there's those layers within it's colors. I saw an adult at the last expo. As with most, pictures don't do it justice. WOW, what a T!!

When I first got her she was a really drab purple and grey but she ended up molting maybe a week or two later and it was like seeing a whole new T. The only thing that irks me about her is that she is a really picky eater. She wont touch a roach to save her life lol. At least it gives me a reason to go to the pet store every couple of weeks and see what new goodies are around.

I was at a reptile show a couple of weeks back, where they had 3/4 inch p metallica's for just $79. Picked up a p rufilata for $25. Still kicking myself for not picking up the Metallica.
