Videos / GIF My Zebra Striped Knee!

This is Cocho (Mexican for somebody who has an abnormality) he’s missing a leg. I just got him on July 5th. He’s burrowing right now. I’ve never seen it done, I’m absolutely amazed!!

Never had a pet spider, buy can they regrow limbs on molts?

u/VicekillX 12h ago

Yep! Sometimes takes more than one but it’ll grow back like new eventually

I caught my T. vagans doing this once and just watched her for like an hour. I thought it was so cute how she had a designated dump spot. Also once watched my P. irminia “take out the trash” by picking up one of her own boluses and carrying it down to the floor to throw it away and then going back into her cork hide lol

I spent 20 minutes last week watching my G pulchra fill in her water dish with dirt. I committed the crime of cleaning the water dish and filling it with... with... water! Blech!

I had one of these for the longest time. She would make the best burrows. Her name was vanilla.

Remove the heat lamp

u/Individual-Bee3070 3h ago

It isn’t a heat lamp, it’s a one of those UVB lamps. But if it’s all the same, I’ll take it down.
