G. pulchra "Lava" giving me the look that says "did you seriously just distract me with a cricket so you could clean my water dish???"

I did not know a spider could look so very betrayed.

(And yes, a couple hours after this photo there is a suspicious little brown lump in the otherwise-clean water dish, and...I did not know a spider could look so very smug.)

Meet Ivar the boneless! A Cyriopagopus sp Valhalla so named because it came in with 7 legs lol

And yet he can take something down bigger than he is!

One of my favorite Ts enjoying its (unsexed) first adult Surinam roach after a molt. Shame the blue isn't picked up so well on camera. The navy blue carapace and legs with the orange/red hairs on the abdomen makes for one stunning T.
T. epicuraneum approx. 3" dls

Just make certain what the hornworm has been eating!
Some eat oleander, Digitoxigenin - Neriin - Oleandrin - Oleondroside, others eat tobacco or nicotiana glauco, Nicotine and Anabasine respectively.

I order my hornworms from Dubia.com to make sure my feeders are safe for my T's and bearded dragon.

Down to my last mature dubia (approx 3.2inch) while waiting for the next shipment. Fed it to my 3.8 inch G.pulchripes that just molted 2 weeks ago. Hungry girl gobbled it up anyway. Watching her laying down the molt mat with a large catch was amusing.
