[QUOTE="SamuraiLawyer, post: 26603, member: 2768"] My OBT sling (1") has a burrow in substrate, the outside of which has been encased in an elaborate web tunnel. I feed one pinhead cricket twice a week, which it typically dispatches within seconds. But in the last week, any time I feed, when the cricket approaches the web or burrow, the OBT runs out to investigate and sometimes positions itself directly over the cricket, as if to strike. But it doesn't, because it never leaves the web, so there is web between it and the cricket. Has the OBT trapped itself? Could it break through the web if it wanted to? I might think this is simply pre-molt behavior, if not for the way the OBT races out of the burrow to inspect intruders. [/QUOTE]
