heya all ... i've observed it many time, and I tought it was over, but here she do it again ...

after feeding, she reject a white liquid ... she move's trangely and she vomite 1 or 2 drip, its white and after she walk away ... that seem's all normal for her, thats very strange i've noticed it in the first day that I've got her, i would like to know if anybady experienced it

she started to do it the first day i've got her, I was freaking I tought she was gona die ... 8 month later she's still here ...
the thing that bugging me is the fact that after vomiting, she act totally normal, she stop moving strange, she just go in the middle of the tank chilling and moving like a normal spider, when she vomite she ... skip movment, a little bit quick, its hard to explain


here'S a picture

I mentioned this before in an earlier post when you talked about your T's "vomiting" you might want to do a search on nematodes and see if the symptoms match.

You could also pick up some of that goo, place it on a transluscent surface and shine through it from below using a flashlight. Using any kind of little prod/stick/whatever you could sift through it checking what kinds of particles you can find in the liquid. If you see irregular shaped spots in it then MAYBE they are leftovers from the meal. If you find roundish and many very similar looking objects in it MAYBE they are some type of organism. Maybe you don't find anything at all...

I'm not sure how big the glob of white stuff is that's in the picture, but are you SURE it came from the mouth or is this just a close-up of T poop?

Yeah, my A. Geniculata eats, and rolls her chelicerae around for a few minutes afterwards, then upchucks a small amount of cricket-mulch into her waterdish-- ONLY in the waterdish...

merci :)

heum no she reject the liquid AFTER a lunch, she eat everything, all the time, and even if I gave her a little cricket she will sometime go in a corner ... start to make skipping move its hard to explain, and then after 2-3 minute you will see a little white stuff right under her, after 10 min she will go in the middle of the tank, with normal movment, and she look's totally normal!!

hehe thx for the compliment I love her too
