Message: <blockquote data-quote="Josh's Frogs" data-source="post: 237285" data-attributes="member: 49228">This is how Trinity, a Venezuelan Suntiger (Psalmopoeus irminia) that lives at Josh’s Frogs, got her name. I was checking on one of our adult female tarantulas when I moved her hide log out of the way to get a better look at her. She must have been leaning from the side of her habitat onto the hide log when I removed it, because that left half of her body hanging in the air. This really annoyed her (it doesn’t take much) so she raised those legs in the air in a threat pose to warn me to back off! As she was frozen in the air like that, she reminded me of the famous shot of Trinity’s mid air kick, frozen in a dramatic shot in the movie, The Matrix. I just had to snap a quick picture. After that the name just stuck.[ATTACH=full]75683[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]75684[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
