I'm wondering if anyone else has seen this and how the sling compared in size as a adult.
Back in April I pulled a sack from my P. cambridgie and opened it to find eggs with legs. 95% had already hatched to the legs stage but there was a few that were still eggs. One of these was noticeably larger then the others and oval shaped. I set it to one side in the hammock so I could keep an eye on it.
A couple days later it got legs and was easily twice the size of any other in the clutch. Once it molted I separated it so I wouldn't lose track of who was who.
Now a few months later this sling is still so much larger then any other. It is eating and molting on the same schedule as the others.
Really makes me wonder what size it be as a adult, will it continue to always be big or will the growth regulate as it reaches adulthood.
I have it and 2 more slings left, I will get some compression pictures in a few days as they are all molting right now.
