Our Theraphosa blondi, Xena, has started eating again after her recent moult and is now getting a lot bigger. She's larger than our adult B. albopinosa and has a long way to go too. She's large enough to take an adult locust, and really goes for prey - she's fast for a big spider.
Hopefully we'll get a hunting video up at some point soon, but for now have a look at her webbing the ground after taking an adult locust. I've seen both the B. albopinosa and G. rosea doing this after feeding, though I've no idea why they do it. Maybe it's to mark an area as a place with good prey, maybe they're just enjoying their food (a bit anthropomorphic, I know). Still whatever the reason, I think it makes for a cool video.
