Hello all, I have this GBB and it seems to have a huge abdomen to me. But it seems really hungry still! It hunts the crickets in her neighbors enclosures. I’m about ready to rehouse this spider and am wondering if I should stop feeding her for a bit before I do that so it isn’t injured? Also, does this spider look overfed?
funny thing… I was giving it prekilled mealworms for so long. But Started putting crickets in and it never stops hunting now. It’s almost like it missed the thrill of the hunt and is now excited to do so!
I pulled some of its web that had some mold on it and had my first lesson on urticating hairs in an enclosure. My GBB doesn’t kick hairs at me anymore so that’s nice. I’m sure after I rehouse it will not be happy for a bit again. I almost hate to move it because of this. Anyway, I’m glad I found out about the hairs being in enclosure before rehousing! Could have been really bad!
