okay guys let me start out by introducing my two T's. the first one i got is Krystal, a Grammastola Rosea from a LPS. She's pretty big, the pet shop owner says shes a couple years old. (i call it a her because i sure as hell hope its a female ) she's a little smaller than the palm of my hand? is that about right for being a 'couple years old'?
anyway, the second T i got was a 1.5 inch Brachypelma Smithi (pyro) from Kenthebugguy. now when i ordered it, i thought it was 1.5 inch leg span so i was like hmmmm good size, but NO! it was 1.5 inches haha . i didnt expect it to be this small, so i have him in a small critter keeper with a nice little hide. now im not sure if i should feed him crickets? or do i just mist the substrate so he could live off the water? the crickets are a little smaller than him, if not then theyre his size. im really scared of keeping him because hes just so small, and im afraid i'll screw up somewhere and be the cause of his death :8o ... do you guys know when he will reach a good size, to lets say a little smaller than the palm of my hand? ALSO, he has a bald spot on his abdomen? what does this mean?
