[QUOTE="kormath, post: 120264, member: 4199"] A. chaclodes dig as slings, then like most NW terrestrials they're out in the open as they get larger. The carpet of web is a sensor mat for prey, since the chalcodes are slow and lazy, they like to sit still and let the prey come to them. All T's are unique and act different ;) I do have an odd one though. My paranoid B. sabulosum. Any slight disturbance to her enclosure and she's in a threat pose. you drop a roach in to feed her, or a worm, or whatever, and she'll go into pose, then slap it if it comes near. Once she slaps it and realizes it's prey then she'll settle down and wait for the dubia or worm to move, or wait for the lateralis to race back by. She'll pose at the tongs when i'm cleaning, pose at the water dish when it's being filled. If i happen to splash the water she'll slap the ground. [/QUOTE]
