New to collecting. Got my first Ts 3-4 days ago - 2 A. Avics and 1 T. Blondi.
The Blondi spans maybe 5" total. The Avics are 2-3" total.
One Avic ate an injured cricket, but the other Avic didn't. No biggie. I figure they're all still adapting.
The Blondi ate two injured crickets...I think. I dropped them both, but never found them. Never saw the Blondi eat. Never saw a bolus. I rooted through the substrate and found nothing. I assume they were taken.
I removed the heads of two superworms yesterday afternoon and left one in the Avic housing and one in the Blondi housing. The Avic worm has not moved. The Blondi worm was about a foot from where I dropped it. I grabbed it with tongs and it began writhing.
I know better than to leave live superworms (or any prey, really) in the enclosure, but I didn't think a headless worm could still be...alive?
I tried a few search combos before posting, but I saw nothing similar to this. Can this guy or gal somehow survive? I'll pull both worms since they weren't touched, but I found this really weird.
Anyone see this sort of thing before?
