I have decided to color code my Ts' enclosures with stickers of red,yellow,and green.Think of them as traffic lights when it comes to handling them.I like this idea,b/c I have friends and family over sometimes,when I'm away and some of them may or may not be inclined to have a closer look or attempt to handle the Ts.I keep them secure and in a seperate room,but even my partner might get inclined to show them off...I just like the idea.
I wanted to know which species you would assign to what colors out of:
B.Vagans (I gave yellow,hair flickers and bitey)
G.rosea (I gave green)
P.irminia (I gave red,b/c they are fast and painful,if you get bitten)
P.cambridgei (red for same reason as above)
N.coloratovillosus(I thought yellow...hair flickers and could be biters)
N.chromatus(yellow for same as above)
C.fasciatus (yellow...just doesn't like to be bothered)
and
S.rubronitens(yellow,nervous)
Let me know your thoughts and why
Now the behavior question:
My G.rosea is suddenly spinning a large,silken curtain around herself in the upper corner of her enclosure.It is not in a hide,just out in the open and attatched to the lid and the top of her hide.She is large and plump,but I assumed she had another inch or two to go,before being full grown.My question is,what is she doing?She has never webbed much before,she had been eating well,but has been refusing prey for a week or so.I always thought they'd web a hammock on the ground for molting...seems an awkward place to molt.Could she be building and egg sack?What are your thoughts?Thanks
