Brachypelma Albopilosum

May 18, 2013
This is the smallest spider I got, I got this from another online dealer. To feed it, I need to cut a roach into half and put it in the container. Then after few hours, I didn't see any changes to the roach but what I saw is a bigger abdomen of the spider. This spider keeps itself under the substrate. It only come out when it's hungry, I seldom see it in the surface, it keeps on burrowing to the deep. I don't want to keep my attention to this little one. I just make sure that I keep it moist and offer food once in a while. Hopefully it will molt faster because it's still small.

Width: 1cm
Feeding: It eats very small. You have to give a pre-killed prey.
Behavior: Walks quick, maybe because it's still small. It burrows a lot.

I have to dig her burrow just to get this shot.

After a couple of day burrowing in the substrate, my B.Albo finally molted. This morning I found the exoskeleton in the surface. Then I dug him up to take a picture. It's not that big difference in his size yet, maybe because it just molted. I'll try to take another picture after 2-3 days. For now, I just sprayed some water in the container for moisture, I think he needs that. 

This is the exoskeleton I found

Still under its burrow, no movement at all, I can see it from the bottom of container. Like the B.Vagans, I'll wait for it to come out to the surface before I feed it. It's still on a post-molt so probably it's still recovering and trying to get the fangs stronger.
