[QUOTE="tapkoote, post: 147517, member: 17661"] I call him Mr Torts- Mr Tor-Tice- proper, it's from an old joke. "Tortoise" He was slow as heck to find food at first, not so much now. Any way I saw him moving around the tank this evening with his front legs raised high. I saw the same behavior in my first B smithi, and knew he was hungry. Got two crickets in there , immediately got one. But here he is waiting for the other to come out from behind the water dish. It seems once they get past 3 1/2 inches or so, they know they can roam around and scare up some dinner. And catch them with their legs raised high in front. Now I have my spiders under the TV set, so we watch hockey all winter together, those folks who hide their spiders in a back room won't see this behavior.[ATTACH]36307[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
