Fed the Tapi a pair of large crickets this afternoon, he got one of them and paraded it around the tank; like taking a victory lap.

He was on the front door when we got home today and did not react to me around the tank so I decided to try and feed him right then.

The spider took a few runs at the crickets but didn't have the right position. He rearranged himself 3 or 4 times to get a good vantage point on one of them,; he ended up on the substrate, next to the water dish and just waited in ambush of until he go it. Got this video of the kill.

Audio is the neighbors, please disregard.

Took that opportunity to clean the front glass. This is how it looked when I came home with the crickets.

He was literally just sitting there and didn't move when I opened the top to drop the eats.
