Ally's Eight-Legged Journey

Now that "Mini-Lolth" is home and settled, I've been able to take photos and compare his size to that of Lolth when he first arrived. I don't know if there is actually much of a size difference, but Mini-Lolth definitely feels smaller. So small, in fact, that I'm anxious about giving him a name in case he's super fragile and I lose him. Above there is Lolth on the left and Mini-Lolth on the right. While they don't really look too disimilar in size, Lolth definitely has more developed legs, and you can actually see his eyes. Without my finger in the photo for scale though, it's all conjecture. What I can show you side by side is how big Lolth is now compared to Mini-Lolth, which is a comparison that makes me very happy. That is my little finger in both pictures. When you see the spiders day in, day out, it's easy to forget just how much they've grown in your care. Seeing that makes me feel very happy, because he has gone from a tin...
