Parahybana. less than half an inch im thinking.three of them stand on top of their substrate smack dab in the middle of the enclosure like tiny sentry's. the fourth vial for all intents and purposes appears to be empty. I have to admit I opened the first vial to see the baby but, never even looked in the next three, just put them in my bag and went on with my search. about 2 inches down in the substrate there MIGHT be a spider but I really cant tell. two microscopic dubia roaches were put in the vial and I believe they just burrowed down also but cant find them either.My question is do I dig in looking for a spider or just give it some time and see if one emerges? if shes hiding in a burrow freshly molted I don't want to risk hurting her, but I sure would like to know if I paid for an empty vial or dead spider. what do you guys think? dig? or wait?my wifes books say leave it alone so if I do go digging without " experts" telling me to i'm a dead man.here is a photo of one of the sexy little things that are out in the open just cuz well I want you to look at my cool spider damnit!</blockquote>
