Okay, so we went to get crickets from a pet store close to where my parents lived and Happened to see spiderlings and just so happened to see that they actually had some in (usually we just see empty containers). I have included a picture of both the spiderling in his/her new enclosure (at least for now while I'm doing more research), and a picture of what the sling came in. It was so wet in the original container that I was worried it may have affected the sling, but I'm hoping nothing serious. She/he also seems like they have a defective leg or two, but I'm hoping that with a molt, that will be fixed.
The back of the container says he/she (we named it Frankie) is a Brachypelma Vagans, which I know is hard to confirm by sight while the sling is so young. If any of you recognize the type of sling Frankie is, let me know! Otherwise I'm just going to be doing research into slings and what I can do to keep Frankie as safe and healthy as possible. Currently, the substrate is bone dry (peat moss), and I cut the head off of a small meal worm and left the body in there in case Frankie gets hungry. Of course, I will be doing SO much research into this particular spider breed and making certain that all care requirements are met. If you have any comments or helpful advice, please let me know!
Frankie everyone!
