I woke up around 4am this morning with this question in my mind.
I'd say that's an affirmative.Well my a.metalica can poop across its tank and there is a sound soooo technically yes?
I think I'll be the first to TRULY study this topic. The world needs to know!Apparently there has never been studies done to see if they do
If that's what you wanna go down in history for then sure, go for it! lmaoI think I'll be the first to TRULY study this topic. The world needs to know!
Hey, if you're going to be up at 4 in the morning losing sleep over something, better a silly question like tarantula flatulence than wondering if that freckle on your butt cheek is cancerous, or if some natural disaster is waiting to strike.I woke up around 4am this morning with this question in my mind.
Use the study to bring new people into arachnology , 15 years of school is too much for me good luck !I woke up around 4am this morning with this question in my mind.
I don't know if it's just me, but it sounds like they might be able to burp too."This happens a number of times, as spider digestive systems can only handle liquids – which means no lumps! It would seem likely that spiders ingest air during this process – one of the key elements needed for a fart. Once they have extracted all the nutrients, in an organ called the ceaca, the food passes to the stercoral sac, where the moisture is extracted before anything left over is excreted through the anus as waste. Since the stercoral sac contains bacteria, which helps break down the spider’s food, it seems likely that gas is produced during this process, and therefore there is certainly the possibility that spiders do fart. No work has been done to verify this to date, however, so the truth remains a mystery until urgently needed research funding is allocated."
Interesting. I just wonder what a spider thinks when it let's out a nice belch. Do they feel satisfied?I don't know if it's just me, but it sounds like they might be able to burp too.
"Man that was a good cricket *burp* hey I have room for more!"Interesting. I just wonder what a spider thinks when it let's out a nice belch. Do they feel satisfied?
Ooo... tarantulas might be capable of both farting and burping?!? Somebody better start writing grant proposals now! The scientific community needs to know!I don't know if it's just me, but it sounds like they might be able to burp too.
Give me a couple years to finish my degree and I'll get right on that.Ooo... tarantulas might be capable of both farting and burping?!? Somebody better start writing grant proposals now! The scientific community needs to know!
I think this topic has serious repercussions for life in general, not just for the hobby. Arachnoboards, asking the serious questions since [insert year]Tarantula Questions & Discussions This forum is for serious tarantula-related questions and discussions on science, care, breeding, and other topics with significant repercussions for the hobby.
