So I dropped a cricket in with my Phormictopus atrochomatus and it proceeded to grab it and a fake plastic leaf that was attached to it's hide at the same time. The little bugger (it's still a sub-adult) then proceeded to tuck the cricket under its body and attempted to pierce that plastic leaf...
My Xenesthis sp. blue sling gave me a good scare last night when I checked in on my critters. What I initially thought was my spider with its legs curled up underneath it was actually just the molt sticking partially out of its hide, surprised me a bit as it had eaten 4 days earlier.
My adult A. avicularia (who molted about a month ago) was doing what appeared to be sit-ups on top of it's tube web the other day, must be pre-training for the next molt.
My Nhandu chromatus juvenile molted on Dec 29 and then my Nhandu tripepii sling molted on January 1st, Nhandu synchronization complete. My little B. hamorii sling recently covered the entrance to it's burrow so now I begin the long wait (it's last premolt lasted for about 2 months).
Hello all, my name is Sheldon and i'm from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Recently acquired my first invertebrate pets (couple of T slings), but have always found crawlies fascinating. Hoping to learn all I can from these forums.
