Sweet sweet video. If only you didnt wear that ugly Arizona Cardinals shirt. A nice black and gold Steelers shirt would have gotten you a 10. But you get a 9. But hey we all cant be tarantula kings and super bowl champs. :clap:

Keep the vids comin Rob!

What do you feed her? I know that she probably can't get her fangs on even the large crickets!

She eats large female B. Dubia roaches...and you can't even see them once she has them!! LOL

Probably the neighborhood cats.....

Holy crap....thats a huge spider! She seems pretty active for a blondi. Most of the bigger ones I've had weren't that active, but then again I never got them out much lol.

Cool video!

Thats definitely a plus! A big active spider is awesome to observe.

They motabilism is a little slower due to the lower temps probaly....keep in mid I have a temp/humidity controlled room so you have to have humidity with the higher temps!!

My only question is then wiht using the jungle forest when I have a heating pad under one end of the tank will it urge mold growth?My enclosier is very well ventillated but i thought still wiht the thick amont of jugle floor I am still getting some mold..Mabey im misting to ofter or fogging for two long?

I get my humidity from the air not misting and evaporation....I would say cut back on the misting....I mist mine when 1/4" of the substrate is dry!!!
