Found a G. Pulchripes sling at my local pet store, went in only knowing they had a T, had no idea how small it was until they opened the enclosure to show me. I transferred it into the container shown, from a really giant 4" X 4" enclosure they sold it to me in. Tried to squeeze out all the excess moisture the store had been adding to the larger container, but not sure I managed it. Going to buy some dry substrate to add tomorrow, contemplated adding some dirt from my garden, but with how small the sling is, not sure that's a good idea. Really worried that somehow I'm going to hurt it by doing something wrong, does the enclosure I have set up look ok for such a small sling? I don't have any vials to put it into, this is the smallest container I have that isn't a glass jar for beads.

Rehoused this little G. pulchra using the top 2/3 of a water bottle as the catch cup. When it came out the top end into the new enclosure, it decided to hang onto the lid for a while...

Brand new (still unnamed) baby boy! The biggest T I own and, by far the calmest! G. pulchra, probably male. Literally got him yesterday and I cannot stop staring at him! He's such a handsome guy!

Rescue Rita, sold to me as an Iheringi but could be an Acteon. She was in a bit of a dive of a pet store and I had seen her on their stock list in July so I thought i’d give her a quiet home. I think she was quite stressed. She’s a lovely calm spider and eats well as long as its the food of her liking.
