Hey everyone, just wanted to get a first post in, introduce myself, ya know.
Well, names Nick, 20, currently in college for biology, tho recently i believe i may be leaning toward something more specifically invertebrate related. I've just gotten my first Ts as of 5 days ago. I named her Lily:} ,shes a Grammastola rosea....well, the pet store guy said he believes its a female, but that he couldnt be sure without a molt(and he did seem incredibly knowledgeable).
I've been reading through all of the post for about the last 2 weeks straight learning all i can. I just want to thank you all so much for sharing all of your knowledge. The one thing i couldn't really find anywhere was descriptions of why Ts exhibit certain behavior.
Ok, well I just have 2 questions to start off. First, i made her a burrow/hide but she does not appear to have any intention on using it. Anyone have any ideas why? and second, I've noticed that she will sit there and move her chelicerae(if thats what the fang covering things are called) up and down for about 10 minutes every night, sometimes moving her pedipalps or legs to her mouth area....dunno what shes doin. anyone have any ideas? i thought maybe grooming. Hmm...seems like a lot for a first post, tho i want to ask 1000s of other questions, i guess i should stop. Thanx for all the help u all have already given thru your posts.
