My 1/2" L. parahybana came today!

I can't believe how tiny it is! I've never had a sling this small. The stupid mail people didn't come up to my door like they were supposed to, they left it in a plastic bag hanging on the mailbox! I'm glad it's still alive...stupid people...

similar thing happened to me!

I got my L. parahybana sling a couple of weeks ago and DHL did almost the same thing. Except they left the box(along with a C. fasciatum sling and a B. Vagans sling) in my yard! I almost freaked out!

My L. parahybana sling is also quite small, but I've heard that he/she will get much much bigger in a very short time. He/she hasn't molted as far as I know but I can tell it's gotten a little bigger.

^^ I'm hoping if all goes well mine will rival the size of my G. rosea in about a year.

I had a L. parahybana that became a Mature male (7 inches) in 9 months! It will get big real fast.

Whoa, that's crazy. Mine still hasn't molt, but it's been a real digger.

I can't believe how tiny it is!

Mine was 2mm in size, and still a yelllow nymph. I had to tape the biggest holes shut so it would not escape. And those holes were made by a hot needle......

That's almost microscopic! I'd be too afraid I'd squish one at that size (I'm already paranoid about the one I have! it looks so frail). It's amazing how teeny tiny they start out!

The memories!!! You are gonna love that Tarantula. They are fun to have and when they get large theres nothing you can't feed it.

I can't believe it! This baby is molting already! It just now flipped over onto its back! Now I'm going into nervous spider mommy mode LOL!
