About a week ago, my two years old Lasiodora parahybana molted and has had a great appetite, but noticed something odd. Over the last few days it's been laying on the ground flat. The abdomen looks plump, just not sure why she's laying out flat. Is it just stretching its legs? Thanks for the...

Interesting question, have been wondering the same thing. I've got a sub adult about 5''. Whenever the enclosure is opened, the spider heads straight for the burrow. I'm in agreement with others on being bitten. I am not all that worried about the venom, but those fangs would probably not be fun.

That's awesome...food falling from the sky!!! :)

Before I begin, let me first say that I wouldn't consider tarantulas as "intelligent creatures", but honestly I don't how much their "thinking" ability has been studied by science. With that said, over the last few months, I've noticed some interesting behavior. When I open up the enclosure...
