A Small species from Brazil recently available in the hobby, super easy to keep an seem to breed like Vermin as never not had a female lay after mating.
Looks like are pretty striking have vibrant pink legs contrasting with a dark body and a golden mirror patch.
They grow super quick but to start with need a spiderling pot, with a moist substrate (our rainforest sub) and then pipette onto the surface down one side of the enclosure, if none of this makes sense see below
To feed slings of this tiny size, use dwarf fruit flies, but would get these in the fridge for half an hour just to make them easier prey.
Ultimately despite a slightly fiddly beginning they should be a very cool and interesting species to keep once have moulted a few times with you.
