We had a big rainstorm on Saturday. I decided to drench the spider's enclosure at the same time (mimick mother nature). The spider then spent at least 1/2 hour cleaning all its legs one by one and running its pedipalps over its head. Reminded me of a cat.

I fed it a hisser about the size of its total body length. It nailed it and spent several hours eating it. Hissers are tough. The roach was vigorously kicking for most of this time.

Its gone through 1 molt and has a body span of 7/8" and a leg span when hanging on the wall of 2.5" (legs are long compared to a T). Either a female or immature.
