This helps me feel a lot better.  I am a middle school counselor so I asked my students to help name this tarantula when I first got it.  The kids thought it was a male and picked the really fancy name of "Reginald Von Bartlebee."  After further research we found that she is actually a girl but the fancy name stuck.  The kids decided she is "Lady Reginald Von Bartlebee" and sometimes they call her Reggie for short.  Reggie seems a little more settled down and is just hanging out on the ground.  In fact, right now, she has been sticking each of her feet into her mouth . I'm guessing this is a cleaning behavior?</p></blockquote><p></p>
