The Lava Life -- a G. pulchra diary

[0viWan]

Indeed -- interestingly quite a bit faster than her previous one. Her last cycle was 258 days. This one was 151. I haven't purposely changed anything, but it is possible average temperatures in her corner of the spider room have been a couple degrees warmer. Or, possibly, her burrow could be staying a bit warmer than the ambient temperature...

On the other hand my Pulchras are starting to take their time now

Lava was still doing some pretty serious stretching this morning... Here's a great example of why it's suddenly really hard to get decent photos of her:


I can see her a little better "in person", and also recently got an actual camera other than my phone, so we'll see soon if I can get better photos with that or not.

I also got one of those bendy tripod things, so maybe when she comes out to eat I can get a decent hunting video

Her fangs are looking pretty close though, so going she might start poking toes out soon. This was her crammed in the corner five days ago:

She looks so skinny...
