[QUOTE="kormath, post: 100752, member: 4199"] Got this lil guy as a freebie when i made my previous order a month or 2 back. He was tiny, 1/4" dls. I thought he'd been hiding in the substrate all this time but my son got tired of never seeing him and carefully looked through the substrate this afternoon, and he's nowhere to be found. He found where he had started to make a tunnel, but it stopped not far in. No spider anywhere though :( He's got all the substrate in an enclosure so i'll go through it when i get home and double check. My guess is as small as he was he was able to slip through the screen top in one of the Jamies Tarantula's sling enclosures. I hadn't drilled any ventilation holes in the sides as he could have easily slipped through my smallest drill bit sized hole. Not going to order any more slings this size, way to much stress with them. i know they're not much different than larger ones, just seems like they are with that incredibly small size. So goodbye to my son's N. chromatus. :( We hadn't even had him long enough for my son to think of a name yet. [/QUOTE]
