Newly-acquired juvenile female A. geniculata tackling a large locust. Already I'm amazed by the well-known feeding response. Truly impressive! View attachment 482228

I know you posted this a month ago but I've just seen it and I really don't think that's an a geniculata? Those look like poecilotheria legs to me

Definitely a genic. If you look closely you can see the vertical stripes between the horizontal bands, which is typical for the species.

Drama Queen learns what a "cricket" is:


Looks like I don't have to worry too much about this one being willing to come down and hunt when hungry.

 

[NMTs]

She's still hungry...

Phormingochilus everetti - her abdomen looks like this...


It almost looks fake, it's so big. Hopefully she's gravid, and if her appetite is any indicator, she certainly is.
