This BLOG is well on the way and it's only been going a couple of days... Hopefully I'll learn a few more things about spiders and spiderlings.

 
The LINKS page is intended to help out other spider / tarantula sites with reciprocel links. This also helps me too as GOOGLE seems to like interlinking sites.
 
 
 
 
This is a video of a Curly Hair  (Brachypelma Albopilosa) in the UK. As you can see there is some balding in the Spiderling Abodmen. The
Spiderling is eating out and the tank has recently had some more vermiculite added and the bark washed.
 
 
Here the Curly Hair  (Brachypelma Albopilosa) Spiderling is eating. I had to use a long BBQ spear to coax the cricket to walk in the right
direction. What you can't see is the fine layer of web the Spiderling has laid across the floor. The Spiderling is VERY fast when it wants to be.
Notice the way when the spider has the cricket it uses it's leg as a cage to stop the cricket escaping.
 
 
I decided to leave the top of the tank off when the Curly Hair  (Brachypelma Albopilosa) Spiderling was having one of it's wandering moments.
As you can see it is quite curious and had a proper walk about. When I was trying to get it back in the tank I had to gently prod it with a piece of
card and I've never seen it move so fast. I literally zoomed - I'd never have caught it if it had come towards me. The speed really was phenomenal.

You can see quite vividly on this video the bald patch which has developed on the Spiderling's abdomen.

 
 
The Curly Hair  (Brachypelma Albopilosa) keeps on falling off the side of the tank when he climbs up. Luckily the side of the tank is not too
high but it is a bit worrying when he gets to the top and falls down. So far it doesn't look like he's hurt himself (he has been doing it for several
weeks now). The vermiculite seems to provide a soft landing.
