Chila moulted today, a perfect moult but sadly it died shortly after. It was a year since its last moult. I'm so going to miss that cheeky little T, such a big character in such a tiny body.

I bought Chila back in Feb 2016 from a friend who used to be a regular on here. He had bought it in May 2015 when it was a tiny, tiny sling

This was Chila back on the day he got it

Then in Feb 2016 when I got it

This pic was taken earlier this year just before I rehoused Chila but it shows how cheeky it could be.

They are very slow growing. Where sling ends and juvenile begins is a grey area. Normally, 1 inch sized ones are thought of as slings but that might not be correct with dwarf species.
