I didn’t know any of that, I’m learning so much on my journey of keeping Tarantulas. They have always fascinated me and continue to do so. I’m lucky enough to get the opportunity to see my Red Knee molt, I had woken early and witnessed the funny web mat dance, that’s when I set up my camera and watched on and off for most of the day. I’ll try and post a video if it will let me. Both mine have been keen eaters and luckily trouble free. I’ve been warned well away from handling them as I’ve been told they are very fragile and really don’t like to be held (resisting my desire to hold them and get to interact up close, I may add) I’ve also been told the handling subject is widely debated on these forums.  I’m going to look for threads as I’m interested to learn what you experts say. I would love a GBB next as I’m interested to see and learn from a webbing T (and they are stunning in my opinion) I can’t thank u enough for taking the time to write out the above, I really enjoyed reading that and will keep an eye out in the future for Tibial Hooks and the ‘bulbs’ (can’t add a video!)</p></blockquote><p></p>
