Well, I did say that Anansi liked his food, so I shouldn't be too surprised. But here is Anansi having massively overeaten. His abdomen is quite distended. Hopefully he will either shrink down in time, or go into another molt cycle. I currently use a spreadsheet to help me keep track of each spoods last meal, what it was, whether they took it, and their last molts. This is supposed to help me monitor any issues as a lot of the spoods (e.g. Lucifer and Pratt) have disappeared into their substrate and not been seen since they arrived. It doesn't help me with Spoods who over eat, however. Anansi? You are on a diet!
This blog aims to document my quest to cure my arachnophobia, but also to educate about arachnid anatomy, behaviour, and oddities.
They're cuter than you think!
