Elvira's DIY project.

[Exo]

Apparently Elvira felt the need to expand her evil headquarters, the first pic is from yesterday and the last pic is from today.

Don't you love when you spend all that time, setting up their enclosure... and then they re-do it? haha

Well, I was hoping that she'd dig a deeper burrow since I plan on breeding her, but now I'll have to find a place for all that extra dirt. :wall:

Haha, I love when my Ts do that. Makes me just wanna :wall: :wall: :wall:

 

[Mad Hatter]

It cracks me up when my T's do that. So funny!

My Aphonopelma just did something similar - placed a big wad of dirt blocking the entrance to her coconut dwelling. I guess she wanted a front door and modified accordingly.

LoL Thats what my G. rosea "Rosie" did.. She has dug out almost every corner.. I think its awesome watching her mover everything around..

Elvira is 6in, so that pile of dirt she made is much bigger than it appears! :wall:

I managed to spread it out and flatten the pile, put not before she stood at full hight and struck at me a few times......she was not happy.

 

[Exo]

Look, this is how unhappy she was!

May I ask why you flattened it out?

 

[Mad Hatter]

That is cute! What a great T!

 

[Exo]

May I ask why you flattened it out?

Because the mountain of dirt was becoming so large that it was toppling over into her water and burying the fern. :wall:

After the next day it had become much larger than in the pics.

That is cute! What a great T!

Yeah, she is rather active and has quite a bit of personality as far as tarantulas go, she's definitely one of my favorites.

 

[Fran]

lol!
I told you!
A Geniculata always goofying around with dirt, prey...Really cool T, indeed!

 

[ZergFront]

Look, this is how unhappy she was!

She's like "Hey, you could have knocked instead of tearing my door down!!"

Tsk tsk, what a messy little girl!

You should have taught her to cean up after herself!!!
