Hi guys! So I thought I should do a little update on
Reaper, our G. Rosea. We have had him since the end of April and he has been awesome!
Although not until recently has he shown interest in food and has eaten. I know they can last a long while without food it was still a concern because we both had very little experience with any kind of Invertebrate :P
But since we have had him he has molted and looks stunning! When we first got him he was only an inch across and is now almost 2 inches across.
Although I'm thinking now that he is eating he will be growing like mad and become a monster in no time!
The reason we chose Reaper as a name is because when we had fed him he ran and literally jumped on top of his prey grasping it in a flash. Simply awesome to see! I haven't held him in a while as it seems like he is always in hunting mode now since he has been fed so I'm afraid of getting bitten....Any suggestions on how to deal with that? Or should I just suck it up? haha.
