UK heat = hungry Ts

[AshS]

So the UK summer is back again, and the temp is 26°c where I am. Both my Genic and my GBB are attacking the slightest breeze that comes through an air hole like I've been starving them. They both ate an adult cricket each yesterday! Greedy little buggers. This is what happens if you put a paint brush through an air hole...



Just thought it was funny.

My gbb's are always viscous, I don't think I have ever seen them turn down a meal

26 degrees? You Brits call that hot? XD that's room temperature! Here in Houston the summers get to be 35 degrees Celsius most days and can be over 40 on a really bad day. And it's really humid.

105+ for the rest of the week with super low humidity... god bless air conditioning. Gotta love the hungry Ts tho lol

Not vicious, but certainly miffed off.

Yeah we don't deal with heat very well over here. It's a rarity that we hit 30°c.
I suppose though being as your part of he world is substantially warmer for longer then here. Your T's must eat more and grow faster right?

Maybe the Ts are becoming viscous are melting in the heat...

I only have one tarantula, a G. pulchripes (which coincidentaly is in premolt right now). My house is normally in the 70s Fahrenheit, which is the low 20s Celsius. Houston is the most air-conditioned city in the world.

26C????? We're at 100F (=37.77C) -- 26C sounds like a wonderful happy dream to me. But um, wow.
Makes me want your problems for just one day. lol
Perhaps we have more access a/c here, which helps immensely; but still, a/c can sometimes only bring a home down about 20F degrees below outside temps; so indoor temps still higher than than those you're having -- but we're having to rely on a/c here to achieve it here in parts of US.

It's what you get acclimatised too, yes here in the UK 26C is a very hot day, but we're not used to that kind of heat and humidity, it's so sticky and uncomfortable, after a few weeks yeah you start getting used to it then it's back to the same old typical British weather...rain, rain and more rain. Having said that, I don't envy anyone who lives with those temps, that would be a nightmare, in actual fact I wake up every day thanking my lucky stars I live where I do, not just the heat you guys endure, but other major problems in the world at this precise moment in time...I think you all know what I'm meaning....
