Hey everyone!
I've got 15 T's, and my family's been into this hobby for years. However, i noticed one of my G.rosea's doing something odd -- He's on his back, upsidedown, but kind of propped up against the window of the tank, flicking his Right 2nd Leg (2 after the chelicerae). Also, he's got himself under a thick thick thick white web, and he keeps flicking his tibia and weaving more web. He's just molted not 3 weeks ago, and he's about 4inches and around a couple years old. He's REAL agressive, been nipped by him about 3 times. He eats mice and anoles, won't even touch crickets, and eats about 2 times a week.
My family's always split the T's up -- me and my father take the females and my mother and sister take the males. We've got probably 1,500 spiders all together and i must say this is the first time i've ever seen any spider do this -- could this be the start of the sperm web? I don't know...
ALso, this spider always lays stretched out, just like my Indian Ornamental...
any help?!!
much thanks!
