On The Loose

[Raindog]

I caught a rather large (3-3.5") Heteropoda venatoria today at work that seemed a bit malnourished so I decided to fatten it up a bit before releasing it. I brought her home in a deli cup and prepared a rubbermade container complete with a hide and a large water dish. I popped the lid and had just begun to tilt the container when she made a wild dash and disappeared (these buggers are extremely fast).

Oh well, I'm sure she will be fine with the escapee crickets and odd palmetto bug.

Well, on the one hand tis a good thing that it escaped because to me that she looks very much he.
