Guarico has started to make himself at home - he's constructed a funnel web down the side of his cork bar, and camouflaged it with dirt he's dragged all the way up from the floor of the tank.
He seems healthy and happy, and appears to be feeding well.
Heres the tube web:
As the web is so fine it's almost invisible on camera - the red outline shows the basic size and structure of it though
And here's the occupant, sunning himself on the other side of his log.
He's eating well and I'm happy with the way he's settled.
After the loss of Oiseau, I was thinking long and hard about what to get as a replacement. I could get another versicolor - assuming there are any left in stock, but in the meantime I've seen a whole bunch of other stuff I'd like as well.
Decisions decisions.
There's some interesting stuff out there for sale at the moment - I really fancy another Avicularia of some sort - but with prices around £25 for a barely 2cm spiderling I think they are just too pricey in all honesty.
Haplopelma aureopilosum and Haplopelma minax seem to be reasonably available at the moment but both are secretive hostile little sods that I might see once a month if I'm lucky.
Guess I'll just have to wrangle it out and decide for myslef
The legs are so pale, they're almost transparent. Bless 
Moulting tarantulas are utterly defenseless - they can barely move.
