My little quartertard.

[Drachenjager]

could call it gonzo ...or would that be a trademark violation to name another wierdo gonzo?

 

[UrbanJungles]

Crazycool asymmetry.

 

[arachyd]

I know, name him Q.T. (for Quartertard). He is a little cutie in spite of his problems.

 

[Talkenlate04]

I am partial to QT. QT it is.

 

[jukahman]

This little thing is a special tarantula.hope it survives.

 

[UrbanJungles]

Q.T. is very good!
It reminds me of Sloth from "The Goonies".

Hey

Who sang that song, "Eyes without a face"? Think it was mid 80's. It's running through my head after reading this thread. Billy Idol! Hell Yeah!

 

[TarantulaLV]

I did.

 

[Richard McJimsey]

Aww he's so cute!
i hope he makes it
and if he does, he'll be a very special little T!
haha, opie, such an awesome guy

 

[DrAce]

Oh, I wonder how that happened...
Could it be a dodgy moult at an earlier stage, or do you think it really is a birth defect?

 

[Talkenlate04]

Not to sure. I wish I had been looking closer at the eggs with legs to see if he was like that from the start.

 

[Lucara]

if he makes it, he should be your sites mascot. =D

 

[arachyd]

Since most of the "damage" seems to be in one general area I think he got chomped by another baby and the injury healed.

 

[scar is my t]

Aw, poor little weirdo. I hope he pulls through and sorts himself out. Did he look messed up before his last moult or was he too small for you to notice either way?

now that is kinda mean but anyway the fangs might be fixed next molt but the eyes probaly not

 

[DrAce]

If I was to place a gross exaggeration on him, then it doesn't look like a mutation. Most (not all) mutation-based development problems tend to be symmetrical, and/or segmental (like having no legs, or no arms, or both, or no torso/neck, cyclopsia etc).

That makes me think that this possibly happened as a result of something mechanical.

 

[hairmetalspider]

I think he's adorable.

If he makes it through this next molt and you don't want him, I'll buy him from you.

Also, I have never owned a sling THAT small. What are they eating that early on for their first meal?

I think once they molt into feeding slings, pinhead crickets and fruit flies are pretty standard.

They will almost be 1" when they are ready to feed and I start them off on baby dubia roaches with no problems. That is one of the great things about pokies slings, you don't have to mess with the teeny tiny prey items.

 

[Talkenlate04]

Well I guess we shale see what my little guy does fairly soon. Some of his sac mates are starting to darken up for the next molt......... Hope he makes it.
