All right! how's it going? We have a few number changes tonight. There is 1 that still has not developed a spot! I can't wait to get past that hurdle! ! had the spot. There were 2 new molts, and 65 old molts. And here I go getting the ones that had just molted for the second time mixed up with the ones that have only molted once. Dang it. However, I did see something interesting. As I removed the lid from one container, I thought it seemed like the baby was hunkered over something it was eating. As I gently turned the container trying not to disturb it, I realized it wasn't feeding but had a chunk of coconut husk in its chelicerae, which it eventually dropped. I am wondering. My first thought was that it was moving it in an attempt to do some excavating, but then I began to wonder if perhaps they can suck moisture out of the chunks of substrate. So far I have only seen my other tarantulas drink water off the sides of their containers ..and once I got a rare glimpse of one drinking out of its water dish.
, so much for that. Now I have some new photos to show off. This is one of the little guys that worries me most. It doesn't seem to eat much, and while it doesn't even attempt a threat display, the postures it gives reminds me of someone being bullied and trying to defend itself by throwing its arms up to protect its face/head. Let me know what you think.
Well. I guess that's almost all I have for tonight, except that one of the smaller ones that had recently molted seems to have molted again. I find this very intriguing, as it is one that doesn't seem to eat well and was one of the last ones to molt. This has baffled me. Usually they molt, then spend days or weeks fattening up before they molt again. I hope he doesn't overdo himself and wear himself out.
All right, Ciao for now.
