I know generally they have poor vision, but how poor? If I were to hold an object directly above them would they see it clearly, or recognize it if I were to do it again? Basically I want to know if they can recognize and differentiate things in their environment with sight or do they rely entirely on touch. If they do rely entirely on touch my awe and intrigue for them would increase that much more.
This question happened onto me while watching my Chilobracys sp. guangziensis leave her webbed "lair", walk directly to the water dish (which she hasn't visited yet since I've only had her for less than a day), walk on top of her hide I provided her with(which she totally rejected thus hurting my feelings slightly... it was nice ), and back to her web lair without getting lost or just feeling her way around the walls of the tank and accidentally stumbling back home.
Obviously they can see somewhat otherwise bright lights wouldn't bother them so much. This has plagued me for quite a while and I brushed it off as another tarantula mystery until the "incident" earlier today with miss your hide is not good enough for me, I'll make my own
Any input that ANYONE has will be much appreciated, especially from you old crafty veterans out there. :worship: :worship: :worship:
