Normal?

Thanks everyone who helped calm my fears when he/she was a sling. My little G.Pulchripes is growing up and doing well. I just noticed in the new pics that he/she is either missing a pedipalp or a leg but I'm not to worried either way.

Are you sure? the pictures pretty blurry but it looks like it has all its appendages.

The old saying goes, a happy spider is one you rarely see. My burrowers do this all the time, particularly in the colder months.

After I looked closer at the picture I called my wife and made her count. 9 total

sorry to hear that, after a molt or two and it'll be as good as new.

I'm not to worried, he moves and eats well. Just makes him that much more special.

lol no but he did spend a lot of time underground. Lately he's been out and about more and I finally got a chance to get him out of enclosure yesterday.

He looks very pre-molt, I'd not handle him at the moment (if at all).
A palp or leg missing is no big deal, it'll regenerate that with the next molt.

I thought maybe he was when 'I took him out but I wasn't sure. That's actually the first time he's been out at all. I was moving his enclosure.
