I was doing maintenance on cages tonight, and was in my B. albopilosum's cage, cleaning out the nasty stuff. Really, you could use spider poop as glue.
Anyhow I caught a glimpse of fuzz and there she was, emulating her MUCH smaller E. sp Red sister. I hadn't been paying attention. She climbed the side of her cage and onto my elbow. I'm going, no no no Bratty Sue - like she understands that. I grabbed the brush but all she did was grab it, too! She wasn't fighting me and no threat posture, just wrestling!
I lost. She triumphantly climbed on my arm and laughed. Here's the picture.
Now she ain't a small a small child anymore. Even her tarsae (i?) scratch. I just can't believe how heavy she is. The picture doesn't do her justice. She's almost black, like dark chocolate with tons of curly tan-greenish hair. Her carapace's colors are a gorgeous brown, with bronze-copper highlights.
She's only refused food when she was in premolt. Since then hundreds of crickets have been eaten.
Yeah I'm bragging. But she's the epitome of B. albopilosums. And why they are THE BEST beginner species around!
But it took me forever to get Miss Beast back in her cage!
