Tarantulas and giant centipedes both interest me a great deal- Ive watching some of the gorey, yet fascinating videos placed by pet owners on YouTube of tarantulas and giant centipedes killing and eating their prey- It seems that thier mouths are designed in a very similar way-Both have the large hollow fangs that inject a corrosive poisonous enzyme- yet I understood tarantulas cannot eat solids- they must liquify thier food. One video i watched of a giant centipede eating a mouse fasinated me, because the centipede seemed to be swallowing solid bits-
Sorry to be graphic there- So do tarantulas liquify thier food- and centipedes eat semi solids? I wish I could find a close up sketch of photo of their respective mouths to see if they are designed the same way- or differently, and see if they disolve or chew food the same way..
