H. pulchripes sling

Just make sure as it gets bigger it can't push the pipette out. They are strong little guys!

Lol @mrsoul1974 she used the pipette to rip off the lid and fashioned it into a cigarette holder like Audrey Hepburn, then left for smokes and never came back... guess she was a guy. I call him Dad now

The sling as since molted, and may be large enough to lift the lid on it's own. I keep a rock on top to be safe lol

Harpactira pulchripes #1 molted yesterday, one day after #2 did, ironically

I upgraded #1 to a china shoebox enclosure a while back that meaures roughly 5x8x3

H. pulchripes has done quite a bit of webbing so far and instead of burrowing has elected to insert itself in a crevasse between the cork bark and side of the enclosure, rump up.

I'm wondering if there's just too much substrate for both the spider and I to comfortably manage and if I should swap to a taller, domed top sooner rather than later...

Mine did the same thing
