B. Boehmi and fuzzies
I have a large B. boehmi that has been an eating machine since I got her 3 weeks ago. I kid you not that she stands fangs first with front legs pressed agains the glass until you feed her and she is content. A total garabage can. I finally tried fuzzy mice. No worry about damage to spider from rodent. She eats more than my T. blondi of comparable size. I only do this twice a week for the larger girls. the rest of the time I feed almost hand fulls of stuff gut crickets using cricket quincher with calcium and good cricket foods like rep-cal or flukers. My G. aureo (chaco) large female has eaten one fuzzy but sees it as threat more than food..even pinkies. She is the largest T. I have. I gave up quickly since there is no need to add undo stress to her. I have or will have sixty tarantulas as soon as Botar brings me my big crawshayi female on his way back from the show in St. Louis today. I know some of you have way more bugs but with the slings, subadults and adults it takes a long time to feed and water which is performed every other night. Takes a healthy 1 1/2 to 2 hours and some times more. Then I have a ball python and large tank of fish and cat. I have to quit adopting wayward creatures. The python is the sweetest most calm snake I have ever held. The past owner took good care and must have handled her alot but had to give her up for some reason. I had to donate 40 bucks to petco's save the animals foundation which I still got the best end of the deal for heathy, friendly and a approximately an inch over 3 ft python and I don't mind helping out other creatures.
Sorry for babble...I woke up in good mood this morning and it is a beautiful day here (at least for a few hours) its Missouri.
