[QUOTE="Phototoxin, post: 190798, member: 36320"] I have to admit studying spider behaviour on a strictly amateur level (I'm a biologist but not an animal-ologist type!) as being a motivation for acquiring some Tarantulas. I've been reading up on animal behaviour basics eg [I]Measuring Behaviour[/I] (Martin/Bateson 2002). Additionally the nervous system of a spider is quite intricate and occupies a decent volume of the ventral interior of the cephalothorax as well as budding into the leg cavities. I hope that the more we observe and conduct non harmful, ethical and informative experiements on these creatures, the more we will learn and begin to comprehend what makes them 'tick' so to speak.
