[QUOTE="Loafman, post: 114583, member: 18247"] Just a quick update! Sorry I've not been around much lately guys, I recently met someone and have been staying over over at her place for most of the last few weeks.. ;) so I've not forgotten about you guys or the forum (or my spiders!). Every now and then I notice that quite a few of the communals are out in the open, climbing around the outside of their enclosure (a 200g instant coffee jar). Earlier I noticed there were loads of them so I had a quick count up, and I counted 9 of them. That's the most I've seen in one go since I put the setup together! They have built lots of curtains around the cork bark, so I'm amazed I could see all but 1 of them. I'm sure the last one will still be in there somewhere though. I did try and get a picture, but none of them came out any good. On a side note, I opened the curtains this morning and Burton, one of my Metallica's, was startled by the sudden light in the room and started running around a bit. Don't worry, they don't get direct sunlight as the curtains are about 18 feet from the spiders. But the thing that got me was just how spooked she was, because it was the first time I've experienced one of my Metallica's actually teleporting! :eek: HOW FAST?! She literally teleported.. she moved so fast that I couldn't physically see her move, she literally disappeared and reappeared about 10 inches from where she was, instantaneously! I was truly gob smacked! I've seen fast spiders before, but that was beyond comprehension.. o_O :D [/QUOTE]
