Great idea for a thread!

Queenie was very glad her now home included a water dish!

My G. rosea is the weirdest with her positions! She loves to see how many legs she can get off the substrate. She likes to lean against the glass or her fake plants with most legs, then have maybe only 1 or 2 feet touching the substrate. I call it her "yoga", I can't figure out why she likes to do that! It looks exhausting

@Kendricks That's hilarious!!!

Bulldozer pooped in her water dish, dragged her leaf "rug" into the dish (to conceal the evidence?), and then added some substrate for good measure.

Poop art -- Mixed media with water colours -- poop beige mixed with burnt umber substrate. Excellent leaf placement. A masterpiece - glad you preserved it in pixels for posterity.

I have a few spider bootie pics to share.

Answer: Yes.

And then this one.

Reviving this thread because I just saw my G. pulchripes going into her hide through the small gap at the back. She had to be upside down to do it
