[QUOTE="BigTGirl93, post: 15283, member: 733"] I just purchased a G. Rosea on the 6th, so about a couple of days ago. I really think it is a matured male, but don't hold it against me. But when I got him and transferred him to his permanent tank he was posing a lot of threat displays and he would tap my tongs. Its like he would literally come after my tongs. I have NEVER seen this before. I know your not suppose to feed them right away but I dropped two crickets in there and he took both of them out in no time, and proceeded to spin so silk on the sub floor. He even did a little happy dance. The next day, he did the same thing, just came after my tongs, so I once again dropped a meal worm this time and BAM he took it out too! Yesterday same thing, he ate another cricket!! He has consumed 4 meals in a couple of days. Is this healthy? Did the place my mom bought him from ever feed him? Should I give him a break of food? Or keep offering it? Just need a little help to make sure my T's are happy and healthy. Thank you all! :D [/QUOTE]
