Sid’s web has been destroyed. I noticed it this morning during my daily Tarantula check. She has been hanging out on the sides of her tank for the past week or so, but I had no idea that she had destroyed her home!
EEEEK!! All this after I threw 3 deliciously plump crickets into her lair. Humph. She hasn’t been eating well, and has not seemed to care about the roaches i was trying to give her. She just molted, and isn’t due for another one for a couple of months. I guess I will wait and see what happens.
Isis, on the other hand, fully enjoyed a roach last night. I had the idea to use the nifty 35mm cartridge to rattle the roaches up a bit. (For some reason, this seems less horrible than cutting them up..)
Serj also seemed to notice her roach, but just sat by it for a while. I couldn’t tell if she had eaten it or not.
Tank-well……. no luck yet, as far as I saw. She just sits on the side of her cup. I think she is not liking the coconut fiber substrate. Oh well….it’s all we have for now.
I thought over the maggot food idea, and decided against the potential colony of flies. Nothing against flies, but my apartment is not suited for a bug room yet, nor do we have a shed.
For now, all 5 tarantulas are living on my desk in the livingroom. It is set into the wall, so they aren’t hit with constant bright lights. (They wouldn’t be, anyway, due to the fact that we live like cave dwellers as it is.)
