So fingers crossed if something like that happens neither of them are harmed.While the Aussie T's seem cool, I'm sure not being able to have exotics will make me sad in future hehe, as I've said before those blue versicolor things look awesome and I'd love one! Maybe I'll have to consider moving countries if my addiction to these fuzzy eight legged freaks gets too out of control =pOh the funny thing is, my T's will run away from crickets if they aren't hungry, I've had crickets chase Azkwin and Lexa(my Pholgius) out of their burrows! Not so big and badass and scary like most people think they are. Oh what food is best for T's? I've seen a lot of people say you shouldn't feed crickets to them, any reason why? Other than the risk of the crickets making noms of the spider, especially while they're molting.</blockquote>
