Meet Randunip

[kevinr]

Hey guys

well after a few weeks of getting myself ready for the little guy, here is my new T whom i have called Randunip. He's ( I say he, i have no idea on the sex!) only in a aqua-40 marine tank at the moment but I have plans for a much larger setup that I will add live plants to, and make it a real display piece.

Hope you enjoy the poor quality pic, but I dont actualy have a decent digi cam, this was taken on my mobile phone.

just to add a scale, the locust in the pic is approx 1.5 inches in length

deep down, i knew it wouldnt be a blondi, but that does not bother me. After watching it these past 24 hours, its an amazing spider, active, hungry, has a personality of sorts...granted i paid the price of a blondi...more fool me....but i dont regret the purchase at all.

What are the differences between the species? as I said in my PM fran, i recall a post you made, complete with pictures you drew, i just cnt find it in the search...am I going to have to change my ideas on a setup, or should it be treat exactly as a blondi in terms of sixe of enclosure, humidity, temp etc?
