A great collection so far! You made some great choices there. Good luck with them, hope to see more pics in the future.

I wouldn't recommend a p. murinus as a starter T, but I can't argue much because one of my first was one also.

I wouldn't recommend a p. murinus as a starter T, but I can't argue much because one of my first was one also.

I feel the same way after his escape while putting him in the new home. It was a long 10 minutes before we got him in. It really sucked when he started crawling down the side of the bed and underneath the comforter.

But for $9 I'm not complaining, at least until the next escape.

One last OBT pic(I figured out the manual focus on my camera finally)

He's eating one cricket but if you look to the left you'll see another one. That guy somehow caught one of his legs in the web and was initially on his back until he managed to turn over.

At this point one of his right legs is pulled behind him on the webbing to his left.

After the T finished the first one he eventually faced the cricket but didn't notice anything until I dropped a drop of water on the cricket which made him move a little.

The T stood up, walked over a little bit and froze. A couple minutes later he walked over, put one leg almost on the spider and sat there for another minute before another leg pulled the cricket in and he was done.
