Hanging around the water dish suggests s/he is dehydrated, but that can be easily treated, as s/he did it him/herself. If it is a blondi, better prepare for a very large spider, and provide it with ample space. Also, be prepared to feed it larger prey (like mice or frogs) when it reaches maturity. Crickets won't satisfy it, unless you drop at least 6-12 at a time. I'm surprised Petco had a blondi for sale. I normally see roseas or a. avics. Wonder how they got their hands on one.</p></blockquote><p></p>
