Well, we are now the proud owners of a 1.5 inch L.Parahybana & also a 1 inch Nhandu Carapoensis, and supercute they are too.
They arrived this evening so they are just settling in now. I will try to get some photo's posted on here as soon as they have settled.

Welcome to the forum

Hi Richard & Iain (nice to meet you Iain)
Our collection has tripled overnight!! lol. The babies seem to have settled well though they have not taken any food yet, they have both just moulted, just before they were delivered. I really want the L.Parahybana to start eating as it's abdomen is on the small side.
Iain, how long did it take for your L.Parahybana to start eating? I know I'm a worrier....just like having kids again! lol but I will feel more happier when I know they have had a nice feed.

Cheers, Lou

Well I cannot answer for Iain but mine doesnt seem to be an aggressive eater that title probably goes to my G. pulchripes (Chaco golden knee) who never leaves his food around long. Unless I know a spiderling has just moulted I wait a day then feed them a single cricket and so far everything has been fine.

Ok thanks Richard. I think I may be fretting for nothing then. I have just offered the L.parahybana a cricket but it really didnt want to know so I'll leave it be till the morning. Funny thing though, I just gave the B.smithi a cricket & she reared up for the first time ever!!! lol She has just had a moult & it seems she has suddenly turned into a diva!! lol I was surprised, made me chuckle but it's so not like her. I think she's going through the bolshy teenage years lol :/

Well are you sure it was not just trying to practice a Mexican wave? I always think when I see a Mexican wave at a football game on TV that perhaps it originated from someone watching a tarantula doing its fancy leg raising gesture and the rest they say is history.

Hmmmmm, you may have a point there lol, she was wearing a footy strip at the time but I thought nothing of it lol
