all my 3 AF tend to just let the prey wander round and then kill it when I am not watching. I think I have a video of one of my baby curly hairs that I bred taking its first micro cricket. it's not a spectacular take down but was a milestone in their growth.
That would be awesome bro looking forward to seeing that!

I'd join in on the fun if my schroederi didn't look like it was going to molt any day now.

Guess I do have others that are garbage disposals, that could eat for the camera.
Cool! Any T that is ready to go beast mode my friend!

I’m soo mad. I just had a 3i P. sazimai riding a tiny mealworm like a dang rodeo champ. That would’ve been the winner no doubt
Whoa! My L parahybana sling just wrangled and tore the face off a cricket twice her size I posted it in my album. I'm sure you got other artillery, you got one fine collection going on there bro!

@SikmT7 I'm having trouble getting any sort of takedown at the moment. They are all in premoult or have just moulted. So frustrating!! But happy they are growing.
Thinking of doing a compilation video of my fails for you guys. When I get a bit of time I'll get the 9 year old to show me how to edit it all together (yes, I'm being totally serious there) :D

I hear that sis, I have 8 of my T's in premolt now and they tend to eat less as they sense the winter arriving soon. I can see a comeback very soon for you! :)

you are my hero! what an awesome vid.
I'm suprised I didnt flinch with her that close to my hand.
What you didnt get to see was that the first roach my daughter actually dropped on my hand. Right when you see the flash in the corner of the screen...the roached jumped off my hand and she pounced.

I thought she was going to nail me...I actually closed my eyes so I wouldn't move. :oops::p:D

Heres her last molt well over 1.5 years ago. Shes easily over 10" now. Pictures dont do her size justice. Those roaches were over 3" long.;)
