Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dave Jay" data-source="post: 137617" data-attributes="member: 27677">A few pics of young Geoffrey in his new tank. He's much better behaved in this larger enclosure and actually ambushes the crickets rather than running away from them as he did in the little container.[ATTACH=full]32246[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]32247[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]32248[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]32249[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]32250[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]32251[/ATTACH]The round circle of webbing is where I sat his old container on the plants just sitting above the substrate, he made his bed underneath it. Now he lives in the pipe (shrimp tube) and has attached webbing from the entrance to the circle, that is now his ambush spot. When a cricket enters the circle Geoffrey leaps out of the pipe and grabs it, he seems to web up his prey almost like some true spiders do, maybe it helps when tackling prey that is relatively large compared to his size.</blockquote>
