I cleaned up their container because it was choked with silk. They seemed kind of sulky afterwards, but look, clean soil, and I propped up a clam shell to give them a nice shelter. What did they do? They coated everything with silk! I can’t even see into their hiding space because the silk is nearly opaque!
I think the evidence is clear that they’ve entered their spider teens: sullen and sulky, their room is incredibly messy, and they really want their privacy.
If we still made B movies, “I Was a Teenaged Tarantula” sure seems like it would be a winner of a title.
Blue seems to like their new shell, judging by the way they have immediately turned it into a silken lair.
Maybe ready to molt?
To be fair, you would probably be slightly sulky if a capricious giant stole all your furniture and then redecorated with a minimalist nautical theme.
I bet they don’t laugh at your Dad jokes anymore, either.
is this your Chromatopelma? they are heavy webbers for sure! i love the way they decorate their enclosures
Yes, that’s my greenbottle blue. Although you can’t actually see them in that photo.
