Message: <blockquote data-quote="Petter" data-source="post: 48374" data-attributes="member: 3924">(I don't know the sex so i'm just gonna call it a him for now)This is a Brachypelma Vagans, juvenile. I got him about a month'ish ago and I haven't noticed him drinking not even once. He eats well, no problem there (unless the problem is that im overfeeding). I havent noticed much change in color other than earlier today, when I noticed he has gotten darker color on his abdoben closer to his head or "body", I dont know what thats called. You can see from the photo that the top part(closest to his head) is darker than the opposite side of the abdomen. When I housed him, he was kicking like mad, and he has also been kicking hairs at crickets, I have then removed the cricket and tried again a couple days later. But he always eats it in the end. Not sure if this is worth mentioning, but I never see him moving around any more, the first week he was climbing all over, now he's just standing still. In his water dish I use some sort of cotton material soaked in water, someone suggested this to me. He doesn't really 'dig', well he picks up and moves around the substrace, he has always done that. He webs whenever he's moving around the substrace to keep it in place where he puts it, other than that he only webs the ground when he has a cricket in his mouth.</blockquote>
