My 2 K. brunnipes - you may need a magnifying glass

[Enn49]

These 2 are so tiny that if they didn't move when I open their containers I'd have a job spotting them.

Elf, the smallest


Pixie, down at the bottom of the pic.

These 2 are doing well although I don't see much of either of them.

Pixie has dug a burrow, a lovely tiny hole and done a little webbing.


Elf is so tiny it doesn't bother digging but just slips down between the substrate and the container side. You can just see its bum sticking out at top right.

That's what my LP sling does, too, slipping in between the substrate and the container.
They're lovely little things!

Elf out and about

Wow so tiny! Thanks for sharing your photos! Have you added any to the media gallery?

Yes only ¼''.

I only have my O. diamantinensis in the media gallery so far.

I never see Pixie now it's so well hidden but Elf has made a very impressive burrow for one so tiny.

I still see Elf regularly in its burrow down the side of the vial but Pixie has been in hiding for a while but earlier I spotted a moult in its vial so when I fed them tonight I fished it out, it is so, so tiny. The tweezers are cosmetic tweezers so it gives you an idea if the size, I measured the gap and it is 4mm.



Half an hour later Pixie appeared to grab a pinhead cricket.

I think Elf may have moulted and left its exo down the burrow as I'm sure its bigger than before.
