I must admit that confusing venomous and poisonous words when talking about tarantulas can be really frustrating. Almost every time when we have visitors at our lab (mostly students) they ask us if our Ts are poisonous. We explain to them that "poison is a substance that after eating or drinking...
If she is wild captured then there is a high chance that she had a chance to mate with a male in the wild. Keeps us posted on the progress of your egg sac!
If the cricket is bigger then the spiderling then it is normal that it will first deliver a lethal dose of venom, then run and wait until prey is dead and finally come back and start to enjoy its meal. There is nothing abnormal about your T. Personally I think that your P. ornata is really clever.

I have that same issue. Two of my female P. metallicas got fertilized by one of my males in October at least twice each and now its already May. I feed them like crazy since then, keep humidity around 70-80% and try not do disturb them. Their abdomens are not now swollen like balloons but I'n...
