Hi Lucifer

Following Evander's untimely passing, I found myself with a spare arboreal enclosure. Rather than buy a new critter to fill it, I decided to move Lucifer the Evil - Satan's Featherleg - into it to give him a little bit more space. Previously, he was in a small "arboreal keeper" from The Spider Shop. While these are perfectly adequate enclosures, they are not my favourite as I don't like having to spritz the enclosure from the tiny hole in the top.
I don't usually see Lucifer much. He buried himself in his substrate pretty much as soon as I put him into the Arboreal keeper, and I think I've only seen him twice since then, maybe only once. So imagine how happy I was when the day after I had moved him into the new enclosure, I found him out and about, stretching his legs.

As you can see, while he is looking quite well fed (this can be seen by the size of his abdomen - small and shrivelled mean he is hungry, round and plump means well fed) he hasn't grown very much since he first arrived. I don't actually know how many times he has molted. I've found one molt kicked out of his burrow, but it may be that there were more under the substrate. He might be slow growing, but he might have only molted once.
He doesn't look much like a featherleg at the moment - feather legs are sandy with distinctive black marks over their body, and their toes remind me of peacock feathers (which may be why they are called featherlegs?)
One thing that featherlegs do that he does, is that when resting, they sit with their front two pairs of legs stretched out in front, and the rear two pairs stretched out behind them. They aren't the only species that demonstrate this resting position, but it is quite distinctive and interesting to see. Other slings of mine don't sit like this, so it does set him apart.
