He's got a cricket, look at his cute little fangs! ;_;
That white mass is just the tissue he was shipped in - amazonius germani (formerly pseudoclamoris gigs, AKA Orange Tree Spider) are one of the fastest arboreal New World Ts you can get
I unboxed him inside a tub, inside the bath just in case, but ultimately decided it'd be easiest and less stressful for both of us if I just put the whole thing in and took it out later
I just haven't gotten round to removing it yet
Eventually he'll be lanky, fuzzy, orange and larger - kinda like the orangutan of NW Ts - but I really like his sling colours.
Hisoka poking her legs out hoping for a meal!

Absolutely ELATED. Hisoka here is usually a major wuss but she patiently waited for me to open the door and hand her a superworm today. Our first tong feeding.
