My Heterapoda sp David Bowie is stupid, ridiculous fast! And if you raised your Cupiennis Salei from a sling you know the other half of the challenge! That speed and microscopic! The little bugger is in  Tarantula Cribs sling enclosure went to put a little water in and after meticulously trying to locate him/her concluded that it was down at the bottom below some cork bark. One little squirt of water and there it was on top of the lid! I froze on the spot hoping it didn't bolt on away because I probably would not have been able to find it because after 3 confirmed molts, and I think more, it's still only couple mms, maybe, in body size! But it bolted back the way it came out after I finally got my paint brush ( the tiny one) and went to touch it! Those moments though are what's so endearing to me keeping spiders! Keeps me coming for more! Thought about</blockquote>
