[QUOTE="Adraps11, post: 122882, member: 4220"] I believe my Pulchripes is around 4.5 inches now. She handles (completely overpowers) 1" Dubias with the greatest of ease! I've been watching how she attacks the roaches, and when I first started her on the armored fiends, she'd maybe "accidently" pierce them at the rear, leaving the roach's front end, free to put up an annoying game of Tug of war. That method took half an hour to finally kill the prey. She's bigger now, and WILL readily take out a fully winged/armored male dubia, but what's interesting is now, she'll flip em around, adjusting them with her pedipalps, and then, she'll make sure to give them a quick incapacitating bite, right to the head. She even seems to be making sure her fangs go up underneath the shielded hood, that covers the roaches head. LOL It sounds kind of sick, that I enjoy watching her learn better and quicker ways to kill various prey items. I love it. [/QUOTE]
