@Nightstalker47 tbh...I have no idea...lol. I found her at work (Bakersfield, CA). She was a tiny little thing, before I "adopted" her.

Well, she looks very fat and happy lol...I think mactans or hesperus.

@Nightstalker47 EXTREMELY fat off of my T's leftovers, lol. Including crickets, dubias or mealworms/superwoms. And occasionally I'll throw in something I've found outside. Last time it was a big black beetle (probably twice her size) and she took it down within 30 seconds.

PS. Is there a way to tell the difference?

I used to have a couple, great hunters indeed.

Well seeing as your in California, it would have to be hesperus...mactans arent found in that range.

I've debated bringing one in to keep. There is a juvenile explosion on a street I live by but I doubt my landlord would be too keen on me keeping one should they ever see it -.-

@lostbrane Should be easy enough to keep out of eyes view, and they are just sooo cool.
