They're here!

Another question; they were each fed about a week ago. Should I try and feed them tonight, or wait till tomorrow as the seller suggested?

I feed them as soon as I get them. Don't see a point in waiting as they seem to calm down when getting fed the same day.

also, a little twig in the GBBs cage will help it make a nice web tunnel.

Thanks. I'll add a toothpick or something.

got a better picture of the GBB. It's name is Van Gogh. The colors remind me of his art.

Enjoy the tiny GBB while you can, they don't stay small for long

Not the way this one eats! He's munching on a big piece of superworm.

They are hilarious when feeding. I've seen mine tackle prey of the same size as they are. And they only refuse food when in pre-molt.

Cute spiders. My GBB slings are kept at 74 - 76 degrees. They are very willing eaters. I think you will enjoy this species.

@JumpingSpiderLady what are you using for your water bowls? Almost looks like Lego lol

Monopoly houses. Got the idea from @lunarae. Pretty clever, huh?

The color change in the C. cyaneopubesens as it matures is one of my all time favorites. It's been a while since my B.smithi and B.albopilosum were that small. Great Ts for starting out. Good luck.

Totally agree.. OP, your pic of your little GBB made me want to get a couple more.. just so I can watch the color changes as they grow. They're a real treat.

I have very quickly fallen in love with the little guy.

haha. Monopoly houses are the best. But I can't take credit for originally having the idea. I read it in a very very old aracnoboards post. I don't recall where but I know I can't take credit XD
