Never read much about these. Do they use “nets” a lot when I’m captivity?

I heard they do from a scientist I spoke with who does research on them. At least in his lab they did.

Thanks! I admit this is the best out of 30. Not easy to capture getting the DOF right.

Yes, whenever hungry it has a net ready. But, it doesn't work out all the time:

That alone would make me want one. Could definitely see them behaving differently in a box though

They do make nets in captivity, just as a trapdoor still makes a lid on its burrow in captivity

Yes I bred several generations in captivity and from sling to adult its pointless to put a feeder in if they didn't have a net constructed.
Never saw one eat without using the net
