..until today I haven't noticed the stark difference between these 2 girls lifestyles.
#1, I rarely see, stays in her tube and only slight webbing can be found. #2, can be seen even during daytime hours, but in her silk tunnels.
Both have been in their current enclosures over 2 years now.
#1 eats well and apparently poos in the tube, ugh! I've cleaned poo off the enclosure sides only a handful of times.
#2 is the messy sister as seen by her home. Quite the webber but makes cleaning poo a real chore.
Just goes to show the difference between sac mates! Temperament: both are usually docile, not the typical H. maculata characteristics we've been accustomed to seeing/hearing about. I can recall only one real threat posture, #2, but occasionally get slapping threats when in the open.
A beautiful species for the advanced keeper.
