A. Giniculata dances!?

[Kittylicious]

Many years ago I had a Genic that danced the "Tarantella" around her food. I'm getting back into the hobby again... I'm wondering was this a quirk peculiar to her, a species thing, or common to many tarantulas (hence the human dance named after them)?

That spider of yours was definitely from southern Italy

Its very common, they all do it.

Most tarantulas I've had do some kind of 'happy dance.'

Ya, the other 3 I had, just did snatch grab hide. Only the Genic made a show of feeding time. Lol

If you want to see it more often, I'd suggest getting some that actually love to stay outside.

A. geniculata don't know what hiding is though, the others would've given their prey "private happy dances"

common to almost all Ts, and maybe all of them.
