Giant Vinegaroon (Mastigoproctus giganteus) - Edit 2

[Selfsentience]

Does she always burrow to feed? Was that tunnel there previously, or did I just watch her dig it?

[Dilbez]

Do the females out live the males by like 10 years like tarantulas?

[DJAlMighty247]

@tarantulaguy654 Don't know about 10 years, but yes, the females live longer. My males lived about two years, but they were already adults when I got them. The females are still kicking. I've also heard the females die after the baby's leave her back, but that can't be right. These females mated many times, but right now I'm out of males.

Ahh..good thing it still feed on a dead prey..my pet mantis hardly feed on those without me forcing it. And this Vinegaroon looks way cooler too!

[nours197666]

What' s its feeding's frequency ? A criket / day or less ?

[brittybby2010]

I just saved one of those from my dads shoe =] he wanted to kill it but I took it and put it somewhere safe =]

[jimberkt]

damn they ugly. whats the point of the tail?

[Chubzdoomer]

@jimberkt Apparently if they're irritated, they can spray a form of acid out of it that is just like vinegar.

[zolo1243]

She is so cute! She looks like a scorpy, but isn't one...

[snipesnrifles]

[zolo1243]
