Message: <blockquote data-quote="Josh's Frogs" data-source="post: 238924" data-attributes="member: 49228">Watch out for that wandering blueberry! When we are feeding baby spiders, here at Josh’s Frogs, we refer to our Antilles Pink Toe (Caribena versicolor) babies as, “wandering blueberries”! There are two reasons for that. The first is obvious, that gorgeous iridescent blue that these babies sport! The other reason is what they love to do as soon as you open their container to feed them. Some species, like all Tapinauchenious, run to escape. They bolt as fast as they can to anywhere that they can hide. Versicolor are different. They love to pop out of their containers, as soon as they are opened. Instead of running away, it would be more accurate to say that they run around! After a couple of laps around their container, they allow themselves to be chased back into their habitats. In the end, this is not good for the blood pressure but makes sure that feeding time is never boring! I still love my little wandering blueberries! [ATTACH=full]76223[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
