Oh Baby

I finally got a b. smithi, or Mexican redknee tarantula, at the Bay Area Tarantula Society meeting today. Thing is, they're an expensive spider, so the only way I could afford one was to buy a tiny baby. They're slow growers, so this guy will take years to reach adult size. He should start to show some color when he's doubled in size or so.

He lives in a baby food jar.
