So ... using a nestcam to spy on my T is one of my better decisions as a novice keeper. She finally opened a small entrance to her hide the other day and started peeking out. This morning she was halfway out so I dropped in a cricket but she ducked back into her hide and the cricket vanished behind the plants.
I was worried I fed her too soon after a potential molt and figured I'd spend my evening looking for the cricket, possibly having to pull the enclosure apart if it got down into her truly expansive cavern network.
But while I was out the camera picked up the cricket, an hour later, calmly crawling around the water dish in the foreground and in the background, Kuku's hairy legs sloooowly stretching out from the darkness of her darkened cave. Seriously. It was like a horror movie for crickets. Or arachnophobes.
She calmly stalked the cricket for about 10 minutes, pounced, then gently carried it back underground. She's so dainty for a T.
My footage is really blurry but it saved me a ton of worry and potentially digging up my T's home. I'm going to work on a better camera setup because it's so worth it.
Also, my T is alive and eating so yay! Unfortunately, the grainy footage hasn't revealed if she's molted. I'm hoping to see her booty because she had a little bald patch from kicking hairs when I rehoused her. Patience ...
