Hapalotremus albipes 1/2” dls

I got it from Fear Not Tarantulas last Wednesday, and the white belly stripes were visible. It has molted between then and now, so it has less visible color.

Arrived at about 1/3” dls, now 1/2” dls.
@CrazyFaith77 This specimen is doing amazing at room temperature, being kept like my other slings. Very active, like Euathlus sp. I don't think temps will become an issue until I try to breed it.

newbie to this form but have one of these slings; so just to check standard terrestrial sling set up? mine seems to hang out on the side of the box, which did make me wonder if it needs a bit of height.. Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

paper with new sp descriptions don't offer up much for this spp; these are the photos of their apparent habitat that I found on line (just in case you've not seen it) https://www.facebook.com/1973588772...394974181301/1028394924181306/?type=3&theater

I’ve seen it and read all available documentation. Terrestrial sling setup is fine. Since it lives in a habitat similar to Euathlus and acts like Euathlus in captivity so far, I’m anticipating Euathlus-like behavior as it grows. Mine has not dug or webbed but hides under a small plastic leaf. It has already molted a few times and is a good eater. I can post an update soon if you’d like!

that'd be great; look forward to seeing it.
