Are Spiders really *this* weird? [aka OMG...I thought he was dead!]

[Salamander Rising]

Someone really needs to start a picture thread of Spiders (or any other morph) doing bizarre things like this. As soon as I can get Ajja to curl up in her cinnamon roll and go to sleep on my chest again, when I actually HAVE a camera, I'm snapping pics.

I could kick myself for not having one Wed. night.

My new little Fire baby has been eating by just politely picking up her hopper and carrying it into her hide.

This last time, she discovered that she was...a snake!

I laid the mouse at the door of her little half-coconut shell and all of sudden, her head shot out and then straight up and she came down upon it shaped exactly like a hammer.

She sort of "pounded" it with her nose, grabbed it in her mouth, pathetically "killed" it with a half-hearted "I have no idea why I'm doing this" coil and then stuck her little skinny neck straight up in the air at least 6 inches, waving the poor squished hopper all around, crazily.

At last, she dragged inside and ate it.

Such a display of primal savagery out of a such an itty-bitty little 98 gram snakeling.

I thought I was gonna cry, I was laughing so hard.

I wish I'd had a camera.

Well, after i went home replaced the plug in the kitchen (pyro dog) then prayed that he hadn't started a fire in the walls ( infrared heat detection) I heated up my bp's meals.. Got down stairs knowing they needed fresh water placed Aurora's rat on his screen... The little bugger was trying to grab it already....

New plan offer now then fill water so I grabbed it by the tail... Not thinking (with my fingers) tongs were right there DOH slid back the lid and wham with the blink of an eye he had it.... He proceeds to land in his water dish and stayed there till he had killed his rat again lol..

He never ceases to amaze me at his willingness to eat lol, Diablo on the other hand.. Practically makes me hold the rat in the center of his tank dripping on him for 5 minutes, all the while the stupid cat is poking her head in there as to say hey what's the deal here how come I don't get rats as a snack lol

I immediately thought of this post lol

Charlotte sleeps with her head and neck sideways, sticking out of her hide. Upside down is even worse though.

Remind me again....why are we wanting these "village idiot" genes in our snakes?

My spider girl is coming up on 4 years old, and doesn't seem to show any of these symptoms that everyone else talks about with spiders... Am I just that lucky I guess? She has a very very tiny head wobble when shes in a tight attack stance after I drop a rat in her tank, but that's it. I couldn't imagine waking up to find her sleeping upside down. I too would have a minor heart attack!

Knock on wood, quick!
