Dang, Former! That's a big scorpion. Is it gut or ovaries?
I dunno... :? That is "Bertha". I've had her, a female about 3/4 her length and a male in between the two sizes for almost two years. Bertha has been this rotund for most of that time. She obviously eats well, but I've been unable to appreciate any scorpling bulges, nor has she birthed any.

My N. chromatus enjoying that first post-molt visit to the watering hole. I can imagine it's the epitome of refreshment in the tarantula world.

Yeah, seems tarantulas and true spiders are very thirsty post-molt.

Every animal needs water, may that be a dog, a cat, elephant, wasp, bee or a spider. :)
