Feet washing...

[mr_jacob7]

I have a female Grammastola rosea, around 4 in. last night, she was huddled in a corner, and brought the end of each one of her legs to her mouth. her pedipalps and fangs were constatly moving. I had fed her a big ole cricket sunday, and yesterday was tuesday. I'm hoping that it means her skin is itchy and a molt is coming. also, her legs were pulled in more that usual, so they were almost perpendicular to the ground. it wasn't the death pose, tho... Thx in advance, peeps!

It's just grooming, at times I wish some people were as cleanly groomed as the Ts I have. They make sure they cleanup themselves after eating..lol

kk. thx guys. i knew i shouldn't overreacts, because she didn't have any reason to die. i mean, in a cage in the room of the purfection that is Jake, or spider heaven; which is better?

jk. anyways, i'm glad she's fine. We have so much in common. eat bug guts, sleep a lot, bathe once in two months; it's awesome! okay, i'm going to stop typing and let you guys on your way. toodles!
