At 1:42 to 1:45 you can see the tail move out of view from right to left. She definitely grabbed it with her feet/palps, but I can't say that I saw her tag it with her fangs. She may have, but it really looks like the worm slides away out of frame. Either way, I'm sure she can handle herself.

Just watched it again. And yes you're right. The bugger got away. She's not due a moult yet. I'll have a look under her enclosure and see if I can see the morio. If not I'll put a slice of pear on the sub. If it's not under the pear in the morning I'll completely redo her enclosure again and give her deeper sub.

After a morio worm sneaked away yesterday I completely gutted my adult female's Cyriopagopus hati hati enclosure out. Found the morio worm. Finally got some pics of her. Not as many as I'd have liked but I'm not complaining.

has anyone else noticed how derpy Ts are, like there legs are so long and thick and there are too many legs for the T to keep track of so they end up bumping into literately everything. this paired with tiny little eyes on the front of its head make them look so adorably derpy. there so goofy how can anyone despise them :rofl::rofl::rofl:

Can't say it enough, I love your C ritae. All your photos, stories, and videos of her have me searching for them here. All of your others are stunning as well :)

Thank you. I'm extremely fortunate to have these amazing pets.
