…… for filling water bowls. Out of 28 Ts watered tonight 7 of them gave threat poses and 3 grabbed the baster I use for filling the little ones bowls. Sadly I only got photos of 3 as most of the little ones dropped down before I could swap the baster for the camera, ohhh for more hands :D.

1st and most impressive was Taal, the Orphnaecus sp Blue Panay who was sitting peacefully when I opened her container

But she soon swung round into attack mode

2nd was Alberta, the Dolichothele diamantinensis. It would have looked more impressive if it'd been facing the other way.

Number 3 was Venda, the little Ceratogyrus darlingii who considering its lack of stature (less than 1" dls) put on a very brave show.

Mine dissappear if I speak while facing the shelves, I can't see them trying to threaten me at all. Well maybe the Selenotypus plumipes, that has tried to attack through the wall of the enclosure but it is usually in its lair at the very bottom of its enclosure anyway.

I have quite a few that will do that too as well as quite a few that ignore me and just pounce on food
