Good photo and nice juvi if you dont mine me asking but what is the tube thingy in the tub with the T ?

Thanks.

Looks like an excellent way to flood the bottom substrate without making the surface wet?

[Danny Dreis]

It's a false bottom set up.
It keeps the sustrate a little moist so no water bowl needed.

Loving the look of your Phlogius crassipes - what's the legspan?

Nice pics
Just one question is that a true plumipes the abdomen looks a little different but is hard to tell from that angle

Yeah true plumipes was originally discovered south of Townsville and has a much more tapered abdomen with very dense setation around the spinnerets.

I am hereing that the northerns may (and I mean just maybee at this stage) be a distinct new species.
Will have to wait and see.
