Message: <blockquote data-quote="Lady Lilith" data-source="post: 72493" data-attributes="member: 3365">as much as I wish I could catch a video of it, these pics are the best I can do for now, and even these don't show her doing much but sitting. It's when she is creeping around her tank and she comes to a log or something she needs to crawl over that this "bending in half" thing takes place. That having been said, has anyone ever noticed anything similar in their sp? If you have a larger T, such as an LP or T. blondi etc, have you noticed the abdomen bend away from the carapace in such a way as to show a great amount of flesh between the two. There is nothing leaking that I can see, and, as if to prove me a fanatically worried mother hen, when I went to take these pics, she was standing on tip toe to leave room for the adult female Dubia she was happily munching on, so I crept back a few hours later and shot them sans food in her mouth.</blockquote>
