That is one nice looking genic. Getting ready to order one of those with some others on my list. Can't go crazy have limited space for at least 3 more.My cousin texted me saying his friend was moving, and couldn't keep his "white knee". Asked if I would take it. Side note, my family has always been into exotics, but they haven't all been the optimal keepers, particularly those outside of my immediate family. I think we all know there's a subset that isn't well informed on husbandry, whether they keep reptiles or arachnids, and doesn't research enough to know their care is subpar. So my hopes were not high as far as current husbandry.
Surprisingly the enclosure was labelled, including the scientific name. The setup was not nearly as bad as I was expecting - although I was probably picturing the worst case scenario. Not enough substrate, it was bone dry, and they gave it this dumb decoration instead of a proper hide. Maybe a little oversized horizontally, and the depth is less than I personally like to give my spiders.
Anyway, here's my new addition! She() came with the name Oreo; I generally don't name mine but since I already have another genic, it'll be an easy way for me to keep them separate in my head. Pretty sure she's in premolt, so I'm gonna wait until she finishes her business and correct the setup.

I don't count spiderling size I'm looking at the bigger picture, (no pun intended). Room for adult size T's.
