Cyriopagopus chewing it's legs

[CRX]

I looked into my C. schioedtei's enclosure just now, and he was sitting on top of his cork bark running his front two legs through his fangs, as if he was chewing on them or something. I recall one of my other tarantulas did this years ago, but I have no idea what it means. Can anyone enlighten me?

Thanks.

Just grooming, perfectly normal. My P irminia does every one of its legs after a meal.

You need to spend more time watching your spiders. Every T I've ever had grooms itself after every time it eats and drinks.

They'll also groom when they're bored.

Haha X)

Yeah, mine do it all the time too. For being a "lower life form", they're awful meticulous about their housekeeping and hygiene..

Humor me, as I am taking a shot in the dark here. Is that an A. diversipes?

That is an awesome picture! My T's are always grooming themselves. Such clean pets to have! Except for the hole bolus thing!

Having clean and functional pads and claws is essential for their survival, as is getting bits of food and bacteria off their mouth parts. They probably can't overdo grooming. They're really clean animals.

Tarantulas can get bored? LOL. Nice pic!

Lead to me to more pictures of him/her I am thinking of getting on in my next order (and by getting one I mean sneaking it into my home under the cover of dark to avoid getting in trouble/being judged!)
