Mystery roach

[Formerphobe]

When I checked on all my tarantulas a short time ago, I noticed my MF G. rosea had a large something in her fangs. She was eating a discoid roach. Now, this isn't odd in itself, except that the last time I offered her a roach was May 16, which I watched her eat at the time. I even remember removing the bolus a couple of days later.

I've seen her tear up her substrate hunting down errant roaches. And it looks as though that's what she did today. Her enclosure is a wreck! But, uhhh, where did the roach come from? I gave her a leftover cricket from the smaller Ts last week, but she wasn't scheduled for her monthly roach till next week. I had to have put two in there at some point in time... :wall: ...and she and I both missed it. I have yet to see this one turn down food.

The only other way for her to get a discoid would be to let herself out of her KK, cross the room, open the closet, get into the roach bin, remove a roach and take it back to her KK..... closing the closet door and KK lid behind her, of course.

those T's man, they are some tricky beasts.

it starts with taking a roach,but soon they'll take your girl, your house, your job and eventually...your other T's!

That's why I love pedes! They only take the roaches!

yep. i've had that happen.

one day i woke up to find an extremely obese B. vagans happily munching on a dubia, and a bolus on the other side of the enclosure as well. looks like i did some bad maintence and totally forgot i had thrown roaches in there on more than one occasion :wall:

Yeah.
When I was younger, my sister found some lobsters in the clothing of her dresser. Alive and kickin hiding in her pants.

Me and her shared a room, and my collection of assorted stuff lived on the dresser, so dinner probably fell down a couple times. lol

Bet that didn't go over too well, huh?

Check your credit cards. She may have ordered a delivery.

i recently found some lobsters breeding in with my H. lividum, i had lobsters, but never used them for feeders...which explains why...can climb glass and plastic...

Ah..still funny when I think about it. She's a pretty tolerant sister though, which i was grateful for lol
