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.
Just be sure to keep your resolve and don’t give them the keys to the car.
