Spider Bathing

[Torn80cj]

Oops, accidently removed my comment, but this video is the only one I have seen a tarantula doing this.

amazing ! First time I see that, that's something! (unusual!). But you're right, our world is full of insects and we never pay attention. Thanks for the video !

ow ye, my spiders do it almost everyday, gotta say they like to be clean

[insan0B]

thats pretty cute

by the way, that baby zebra spider i was on about not too long ago moulted a few weeks ago, and is accepting food now

[KawaiiKemonomimi]

That's great. I hope it grows up to be a nice, striped beauty!

[insan0B]

so do i

but naturally, the winter comes and wild caught food diminishes

any tips on feeding this tiny guy? they dont sell pinhead crickets at the pet store near me, as they normally die. is it recommended ordering flightless fruit flies and/or pinhead crickets to feed him/her? or are there any winter insects the sling may eat?

[KawaiiKemonomimi]

You can buy pinheads from an online store like Fluker's. Josh's Frogs sells FFF. I haven't seen many insects outside lately that mine will eat except termites.

wow cool where did you buy it?

[KawaiiKemonomimi]

A member on the arachnoboards forum. I bought 5 P. irminia and a P. cambridgei.

Hi, so that's a T bathing! Never saw that before; he's probably cleaner than I am after that bath and workout! LOL - Bob

[KawaiiKemonomimi]

LOL! Now imagine if he could use four back scrubbers on top of it! Hahaha!!

Nice video by the way. :)

[KawaiiKemonomimi]

Thank you. Yeah, I had no idea for a sec what he was doing. First time seeing a T bathing. My spiders only wash one leg at a time.

He's about an inch now and in a michaels container.

I have never seen my pinktoe do this, but my chilean rose always does.
