[QUOTE="Gizalba, post: 215478, member: 31253"] Hi, I am worried about Victory as he has recently got really skinny (compared to what he was) and I am concerned he is struggling to eat. He has ignored the red runner I put in there, then I have tried a mealworm then lots of beanweevils. Are his pedipalps deformed or is that what mature male huntsmen look like? I had hoped he would be female of course, but am wondering now whether that action he is doing is loading the pedipalps? I've no idea whether they do that in a similar way as tarantulas? It is hard to see here, but after the last moult the ends of some of his legs also look bent in a weird way. He was named Victory as the first 2 babies I got of this species arrived dead (Victor and Victoria - I buried them in the woods near the stream). The shop sent me another and I decided if he survived he would be called Victory. Hence I am especially attached to him. [MEDIA=youtube]N6ll0_2oS28[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
