Okay! here we are again. I skipped last night, so I would have a little more to say tonight. Sorry if you missed me. So this is what I have. Yesterday, there were 7 new molts. 23 that had already molted for the second time, and 27 that had not molted.
Tonight, I have - again - 7 new molts. 30 that have molted for the 2nd time, 19 that are closing in on their 2nd molt. One thing I like about these Lasiodora parahybanas is that they are not wanderers. I can open their containers, and they have really no desire to leave it to explore. I got a couple of
Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens (Green Bottle Blue) today, and they just want to go go go. As I said, with the L. parahybanas, I can go check on something or chase down a cricket, and at least so far, they just hang out and are content to stay in their containers. I did, however, today see something interesting. I had placed half of a small cricket (which was real more like a medium cricket) in one of the containers, and within a couple of seconds, the baby had lashed out at it - or at least in that direction. It was like when my older tarantulas aren't interested in feeding and are trying to just slap it away to scare it off. This was the first time I have seen any of these guys do this. Perhaps they might finally start acting like predators instead of scavengers soon.
I have a couple of photos I wanted to share. One is of one of the little guys that had just finished molting today. It is so pale and fresh. The other photo is of one of the ones that molted a few days ago..
Well, that is all for tonight. Ciao ciao.
