Let us have a moment of silence for Mr Survivor. He's gone to Cricket Paradise. I was kind of rooting for him but in the end Weelob wanted Sunday Dinner.

Thanks all for your notes about tarantulas and their feeding habits. Mr Survivor is still hanging out uneaten right above Weelob's lair :)

WeeLob came to live with me last Christmas. She was maybe 2 1/2" when I got her, is maybe 1/2"bigger now after 2 molts and about 5 crickets a month for food. She would rarely come out of her lair except to web at night so I didn't get to see her in action very often. Last Saturday I bought 8...

This thread certainly makes me feel better about my own reclusive.GBB. Before she arrived 2 weeks ago I knew nothing about the habits of these creatures and why she hid from even her own food. Thanks to some helpful and knowledgeable people online I learned that crickets could harm her (she...

I was able to see your video in the gallery Phil. Thank you :)

Very cool Phil! I could watch webbing all day long but unfortunately my GBB is more or less a pet rock. Thank you :)
