My new pinktoe is a badass

[troglodyte]

I just brought home my new pinktoe named the Brain. (First thought for name: Pinky--Too predictable. I went with the Brain instead.)

I bought 8 crickets. I threw most in with my giant striped knee, because he's four times the size of the pink toe and hadn't eaten in a while. I threw the other two in with the Brain and walked away. Ten minutes later I peeked in and he was eating both at once! The Brain is a total badass! They told me at the shop he'd just eaten on Wednesday, too. He's a growing spider, I guess.

I had a pinktoe as my first spider years ago, but she didn't eat anything I threw in there and "died." Now that I have more experience, I realize she was probably just molting. Woops. Anyhow, is it normal for pinktoes to be such voracious eaters? My other guy isn't anything like that!

I tried to get some pictures for you guys.

Nice to see your Avic eats well. I have an A. Metallica that eats like a runway model.

Ts will take food as much as possible, in the wild they dont know when their next meal could be so most of the time they will just keep on eating, thats why people can sometimes "powerfeed" or make their spiders obeist.
