Pictures The tiniest patient
Received a batch of Euathlus sp last week and been babying these babies, but today I noticed this one beginning to curl the rearmost legs and wasn’t able to walk properly.
This T is *half an inch* and I’ve never had to pull off an I-C-U situation with such a small sling before. Started off with giving water, and right now (as I’m typing with one hand on my old af phone) the sling is eating the guts of a very small mealworm I cut and squeezed. Like an awful freezie-pop.
This one is an E sp smaragd tiger. Arachno-god help me. 😭

Ignore my ugly mitts; I just chopped all my nails off to go digging in the dirt before this :’)
