Does anyone have a T with any particularly adorable habits? Please post pictures!

Here's my five year old MM Rosie (kinda old I know) who always eats on his tippy toes! image.jpg

That's how t's eat.
None of mine raise up quite that much. It is pretty adorable.

My b. Smithi stretch often in the weirdest way that I find pretty cute. I would only be able to really show it in video though and he's in premolt so he hasn't been doing it much lately.

I have an A. versi sling that just waits for a dead roach on the tongs then waits for me to literally put it on it's fangs and sets it's front legs on the tongs as gently as possible. It's like feeding a baby.

My smaller L.P. would always run into her half log when I opened up for maintenance. Then about a minute into whatever I was doing she'd poke just her little front end of her carapace and first two legs out and check out what I was doing. It was unnerving at first but cuter after I realized she was just curious into what I was up to....

Later she built a wall between that hide and myself with a window for her to see me but I can't see her.... I believe she's in pre molt.

I have a penultimate male aphono that gives me threat poses and spreads his chelicerae (probably because he's in premolt, before this he was less defensive, but just skittish), but he never does anything hahaha.

then when I close the enclosure, he goes back to normal instantly lol

One of my Lps has taken to carrying around a Dr pepper bottle cap that was her water dish. I gave her another cap for water which she uses for pooing. The other night she was sitting at the entrance of her burrow with the cap in front of her. I decided to fill it with water to see what she would do. She got up and drank from it, then a little while later she had dumped it out and had taken it back in her burrow. She has a plastic cap for a wubby. Lol

our G. rosea sling pounces dirt clods in her enclosure. I use potting soil and as it's dried it's made little small dirt clods which she stalks and pounces on. LOL

I don't have any pictures of it, but with my first T, a rosie named Itsy, if I put my hand in her enclosure and rub my thumb & forefinger together, she senses the vibrations and will come over, and, depending on her mood, will : a) just rest her front legs on my hand, or 2) give it a good slap, if she's grumpy. :)

Yeah I can sometimes see her little legs poking through resting, and I can check around back and I know she's facing the window always. But the way her enclosure is set up and where it's put in my room, she has complete privacy.

Me too! My avic avic "hand feeds" too! It's adorable lol
+3 on the Avic versi tong feed only lol

My E.murinus comes out of its hole abdomen first every time... And thinks its popcorn during feeding (pops in and out of its hole at least 5 times in about 3 seconds lol.

My squishy (B.vagans) does the celebration dance as well.

My LPs upon being disturbed (I mean like turning on the lights in the room, movement, there own shadows ect..) stick there carapaces in a hole and leave there abdomen sticking out because they think there ostriches.

My C.marshalli is probably my cutest because he is germiphobe! every time I see him he is cleaning himself His enclosure is completely white with web and if theres a piece of dirt on the web he removes it.

My A.versi prefers to eat outside of it enclosure and then run way with the food in his mouth. Once he held it side ways and was trying to make a run for it but the cricket was getting in the way of the first 3 legs because of how he was holding it so he bulldozed around the room lol it was like a wheel barrel with out the front wheel, I was dying :p

She always bites off more than she can chew lol - I kno I kno "that's the way Ts eat" but I find this "hand feeding" w her so charming! Plus in this pic she's happy dancing on the wall, excited to dine!

One of my little LPs pulls the plant over the opening to its hide. No matter how often I move it away by next morning its back.



One of the few pics I have of it peeping out of the hide.


My other LP isn't so shy but scatters substrate everywhere.
