OK. How is everyone tonight? We are doing well. I didn't post last night. I went to the local pet shop to get crickets and got there at 7:06pm, and they were closed even thought the sign says they are open until 8:00pm, so being a little miffed, I came home and went through the babies and removed any leftovers and recorded any changes, but did not post anything. so, here are the findings from yesterday: 8 new molts, 9 that have molted already and 40 that have not molted a second time.
Today, I went to the pet store and got some crickets. I did not see the owner, so I didn't ask about their hours of operation. Today, there was 1 new molt. 19 that have molted a second time and 38 that have only molted once. The babies still are terrified of live food. They will only feed if it's not moving at all. Dylan, the guy in Kalamazoo who bought one told me after I emailed him to see if his has molted that his won't eat live foo. I guess he's been trying live crickets, and it won't eat, therefore it hasn't molted yet. But I still have a lot that haven't molted either, but his was one of the larger ones. I find it interesting that a tarantulas that becomes one of the largest in the world is so timid as a baby and only scavenges for food. It will be interesting to see at what size they actually become active predators. The local pet store has one tarantula. It's labeled a Brazilian Salmon Pink. It's about 2 inches(diagonal leg span), and I saw it catch something in its cage, but mine are far from that size. Well, that's all I have tonight. Ciao ciao.
