Brachypelma Smithi update.

Its been a while since I updated but its not through being lazy its through being  busy doing the one thing I hate the most and that's work. I know that we all have to work to pay the bills but I don't have to like it.
 Coming soon will be a live web-cam of my Brachypelma Smithi tarantula it won't be streaming all the time but maybe a few hours on my days off.

There is no point in switching on the camera yet as my "T" is in its 11th day of hiding behind a substrate wall that has completely blocked her cave entrance. I am pretty sure now that a molt is on the way.
Any day soon I am expecting her to charge from her cave much bigger and demanding crickets, or something like that!

The picture here is not her (although she looks the same) I borrowed it off the internet and I promise to give it back. I just needed something to remind me of what my spider looked like.I know I keep referring to my "T" as a she it may be a he as its not big enough to sex yet, although if I can get to the molt I may have a better idea.

So far keeping a tarantula has been great, very exciting and very very interesting, if its a girl she could be with me for 2o years or more and a male 10 years or so. So I guess in the big picture two weeks hiding in her cave is not a problem, watch this space
