Message: <blockquote data-quote="MassExodus" data-source="post: 66756" data-attributes="member: 4086"><p>Awhile back I rehoused my C lividus and my marshalli into a few inches of sub with a hide, because I never saw them. So, yesterday I looked for the last time at the somehow pathetic looking little web house my lividus had made, gave in to the guilt and gave her some more sub and a pre made burrow with a cork tube entrance. She started building another web house around the water dish and didn't even look to find the burrow. So I opened the enclosure and tried to gently coax her toward it. I have to say, this is the fastest terrestrial tarantula in my collection. She accelerates into warp speed from a standstill. I would prod, and suddenly she's at the rear wall..another prod, and she's at the front, hanging off the top lip..I cupped her, and tried to prod her out directly in front of the burrow...and she was suddenly in the rear corner of the enclosure and the catch cup was flying and I was giving an incoherent, high pitched screech..lol, j/k, but she never did go in the damned hole. Is your midnight blue like that? I'm naming my lividus Velocity. It has a nice ring to it.</p></blockquote><p></p>
