Pretty little thing! If I enlarge the image I can see her color :)
Yeah I did that too ☺.when you look under the naked eye, looks black all over but move towards natural light and the purple really starts to be highlighted. Now she is getting bigger, approx 2 inches, the colour comes through more and more each moult. She (I say she but not sexed yet) is rapidly growing on me.

Oh what a cutie and great picture! Mine is such a scaredy little thing.
Thank you, yes thay can be skittish. When this was a sling always wary it would make a leap for freedom whenever the lid was off.....especially as she insisted on making a web on the lid. ...lmao.. Since she has got bigger though, seems a lot more settled now. How big is yours, try and get a pic up here if you can so I can have a look. ☺

Beautiful. I really regret selling my sling. She was a confident little thing. Always a great eater as well.
I almost sold this one a month or so ago but glad I held on to her a bit longer. Unfortunately a big design at some point as have 3 avics (versicolor, diversipes and puperea) but only have room for 2 once full grown so one has to go at some point. Not looking forward to that decision!

I was torn between this one and the sp. Peru Purple i got. Hopefully the Peru Purple will show the purple as well as this one. If not i might have to buy another avic ;)

I think the real solution is to get another enclosure... ;)

same here. they're all on my dresser except the B. vagans, he's on a small table by my bed. I have a desk i need to put back together from when it was moved to recarpet the room. they'll all fit on that for now. I don't want to think about where i'll be putting 25 adult enclosures yet ;)
