So Money Spider has taught himself a new trick. Climb up the wall with as much substrate as you can carry then poke it out of the air holes. Got no idea where he has learned to do that from or what the fun is but who am I to question?

That is so funny. The personalities that spiders can have. Who would have thunk it?
I know! Money is a nutter anyway he doesn't lounge about like most ts he's always up to something. I really love that spider he's so funny. You're right tho, I can't believe how devious some of them are.

Is she in pre moult? Rosies are notorious for going off there food. Sounds like she would appreciate deeper substrate. Hope she is ok.
I don't know what pre moult is. She hasn't shed while she has beem with me. I was told her back end would go black when she was ready but I've not seen any change. Which is the best substrate to get for a rose hair? I was just given her as she is in her tank. Thank you so much for your help

Ramases having a wash. Hes been there for nearly 2 hours and has fell over a few times cos he has most of his legs in his mouth. As tarantulas go he is nuts. Money Spider is like his apprentice.

She might be getting ready to moult. My ts are on coco fibre it comes in a block and you have to wet it and crumble it then dry it out.

Diamond has got really fat. I have not fed her for a while as she is actually waddling when she walks. She has always been the fattest of the group i bought her in but Will be the last to moult. My friend actually asked if she was pregnant, shes a bit young yet!

Diamond and Money both look bigger since I've been gone! Still cute as all hell though :)
Bast the weirdest thing happened, i put Money and Rapunzel into bigger homes and Money made a burrow. One afternoon he emerged from his burrow and he had more butt fluff than normal and his legs looked transparent so i said "Money, you look huge, have you moulted? Have you got a skin there for me?". He actually went and dragged the skin out of the burrow for me. How mad is that? Ive got some b emilias smaller than him now so Hes not the baby anymore but still the clever/funny one.

Thanks Db. The only thing i can think of is that he gets more exercise and eats a lot compared to most ts. He has really changed this time but five weeks between a moult at his age doesnt seem right. He has never been fat. He has gone a lovely colour tho.
