C.fasciatum does a barrel roll haha!

[SuzukiSwift]

Got a video of my C.fasciatum doing what I can only describe as a barrel roll to catch a cricket today, it was the most awesome kill I've ever seen, gona name this one something to do with ninjas!

Any other stories of cool things you guys have seen your Ts do?

My MM G. rosea spends most of his time doing backflips, but I've told this before.

It's because he wants to mate but he is incapable of building a proper spermweb for some reason.

Oh serious? How does he do the backflips, like up the wall?

He just flips over as if he were to crawl under a spermweb...a non-existent one.

He then proceeds to shake around with his butt for a while and then flips back over, after that he'll do it again and again and again.

My Pink toe did what I can only compare to a shooting star press last week. She jumped forward into a backflip and landed on a cricket and then rolled with it when she grabbed it. It blew my mind! I was just waking up and feed her and it put quite a smile on my face. Great way to start the day!

I'll make a video once I figure out how to do that with my current camera.

Well, more odd than cool, but I catch my MF G. rosea Persephone in this position from time to time. Not sure what she's trying to accomplish. Squats, maybe. o.o

My B. albo's favorite position is with all the legs on one side up against a wall so I can see her belly. Not nearly as cool as a barrel roll or backflips! I want to see videos!!

I swear my adult female L.parahybana was flossing her fangs with her web last night, I was watching her with the torch and she was repeatedly rubbing her spinnerettes with leg IV which then went in her mouth :S

I've seen a cricket go "boing boing boing crunch boing!" before... Yes, that's the best way to describe it, as this was a feeding occurrence

I went to feed my RCF rosea. Well, the cricket was dropped in, and it didn't even land without bouncing off. It bounced 2, 3 times, then as it landed again, Red jumped on and caught it, and bounced himself. I'm still not entirely sure what happened, as I was told that he may have barrel-roll caught the cricket! No matter what the exact story was, I wish it was recorded, but it was amazing no matter what the true tale is!

I think she's air-drying after grooming.

weirdest thing was finding my B. Smithi molting, but still eating a cricket. he was halfway out of a molt, on his back, and had a cricket in his old fangs. it was the weirdest thing i have ever seen, and I didn't eve nget a picture. stupid stupid stupid!

One of my female G. rosea likes to empty her water dish, then use her palps and front legs to lift it above her. She places the top of the bowl against the bottom of the lid on the enlcosure, then walks around scooting it around. Shes a nut .

Seriously?? I wonder why he started moulting with a food item in his mouth, never heard of anything like that before!
