Tarantulas do a lot of things that we merely take for granted, but that are absolutely amazing when you sit down and think about it.An alternative explanation might be that this is merely a coincidence. You just happened to walk in as your little buddy was preparing to finish the meal. Before we could pass judgement on your observation (behavior or coincidence), we'd have to have several enthusiasts, or several dozen enthusiasts report seeing the same behavior.Anybody else out there in tarantula-land ever see this? Speak up. Don't be shy!(BTW, what kind of tarantula is it? How big is it (<a href="http://werunique.us/schultz/Overview.html" target="_blank">DLS</a>)? At what <a href="http://werunique.us/schultz/Overview.html" target="_blank">life stage</a> is it? And lastly, is it male or female?</blockquote>
