That's awesome Chip It's so tiny, you must not have had it long. Who'd you get that little guy from?

RE that little fella.. How big is it now? It looks like next molt the ends of the legs may put on some more color..

I got this one back at the end of October as part of my birthday order from Regal. When I got it, it was maybe a 1/4" with no markings at all. It's moulted at least twice since then.

She's measuring in at about 2.25". If I've got the ID right, and looking at as many pictures as I have, I think I did, she should just maintain that dark, reddish grey colour with the carapace getting gradually darker as well.
