2.5 to 3 inch Juvenile G. Pulchripes

I payed for an advertised 4 inch of this species, at PetCenterUsa, but received a smaller one instead. I'm not angry, but I'm very disappointed. The Ten Gallon I have set up is way to large, so I'm going to walmart to see if I can find a kritter Keeper, or large clear deli cup. They are lucky that I find this specimen to be adorable! Hell this way I still have room for a dwarf species! I did notify Paul Becker about this. It is cute! I tried to sex it when it crawled up the sides, and it may be female, but I can't really tell just yet. Now to get it out of this huge setup!
 
Getting a T this small caught me off guard, but I gave it a nicely sized critter keeper with a small pot as a hide covered with eco earth and a cleaned water bottle lid for drinking. It may want to burrow more, so it may bulldoze everything! It has drank once and is now crawling up and around everything. It doesn't seem speedy...yet. I hope it settles in nicely. It does look like after one molt, it'll be to big for what I have it in.
