Feeding time for my tarantula (Costa Rican Zebra or Aphonopelma seemani). First cricket instantly burrowed itself under the peat. When I tried to dig out the cricket with a pencil, the tarantula attacked the pencil so I threw in another cricket and it caught that one.
Music: Metallica - Seek and Destroy
(although it didn't do much seeking, rather it just sat on its fat lazy ass and waiting for the cricket to come to it)
Lol. That was beautiful. I need your opinion. My C. Zebra has dug itself in a hole and never, EVER eats! It hasn't eaten for months and barely ate after it molted (months ago) Its abdomen is small & it doesn't even move. Its not dead (yet, anyway), & I'm starting to think its suicidal. Why do you think it behaves that way?

Yeah - they hardly need any. And not much heat either.
When I moved out I gave mine to a local zoo - it had a massive tank with moss and bark all over it: a proper display. It had cool lighting and about two crickets in the whole tank.
People do need a bit more education before they get one. A lot of them are endangered now cos of us lot. They were shipped really badly - I think at one point only 1 in 6 was surviving shipment - stupid business.
And you can't "under-handle" them either!

Mine was a real terror until we moved it. Also I didn't realise that leaving its lamp on all the time was a bad idea. Poor thing had a bad six months of drums and heat, and at cleaning time it was very hostile. When we moved it to the new room we turned the light on only for an hour or two per day. It calmed down a lot, and at cleaning time it moved wherever you wanted it to without any bother. Also, its appetite picked right up.
