Updates..

Well, over the weekend the little Smithi did pass away, he had been showing little signs of life in his ICU and ended being curled up :( The others are all getting on well though, Spiderman (G. Rosea) has been very active and hungry, happy to be munching his was through crickets all weekend, Spongebob (G. Aureostriata) has been out and about a lot more again, still not eating though so perhaps could still be going to molt, case of wait and see there.

I had some spare cork bark left so put a couple of bits into Skittles' enclosure (A. Avic) and he really likes them, either choosing to hide under the bottom or to sit up on top, certainly a lot more active since they have arrived.

Monster munch (H. Maculata) has been out and about at night, lots of new webbing shooting off from his cork tube to various places and he was even out for a walk on Sunday through the day. Tried to get some pictures but had difficulty in getting it focused on him, he was doing a fair bit of wandering so trying to take a photo and not let him escape was proving hard!

After some advice on the Arachnoboards forum, the P. Imerator has had a change of substrate and is now much happier, I've added in a spare exo-terra hide that I had so she's taken to that as her new home well, and has been doing a fair bit of digging in it, and adding a new entrance out the back. Her crickets have also been disappearing so she seems to be taking to her food too!

try and get some photos later on this afternoon
