Scaly,I'm with you on that one lol!

Haha,Ninja has got a massive character for a little bug. She's developed a habit of jumping on the camera when you're trying to take photo's of her. She's absolutely fascinating,and hilarious...I do feel sorry for her food though as she's ruthless lol

Who knew 'bugs' could have so much personality..

The name reminds me of this vid/song.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=vcMHkvEVgVo


Can't say the T is quite so.. endearing.. just can't get over the arachnophobia..

Hahaha yep theres a reason Ninja is my fave bug. One things for certain,she may be my first mantis but she won't be my last...its bug love! Thankfully I've not been bitten by her....yet,she did used to run around the netting chasing my fingers but has stopped that now lol.

As for Ruby,she's not really helped with my phobia yet Scottishbluebird. Maybe in time she will,or I could just always be scared
It doesn't really help that since she moulted she's become a bit aggressive. She attacked the paintbrush I use to move her last month,I was close to having to change my pants. I've lost my confidence with her a bit to be honest and struggling The little cow even pounced on the water as I poured it in her bowl the other day!!

Haha yep Ninja is brill.

Ruby however is a little git!! coxymk2,she would do a good job of scaring. Its got to the point where I have to use some plastic feeding tongs to remove her water bowl

This is her after pouncing on her bowl (the first time) as I tried to remove it for cleaning and filling. She had a gob full of cricket at the time (thought it may pacify her) and twice she lunged at it. I never thought I'd be playing tug of war with a tarantula lol

I did have an accidental handling sesh with her a couple of months back. Then she moulted and became a demon!
I had a chat with someone and apparently this is something that can happen,they can be lovely docile T's then they may moult and become aggressive. They may then be ok after the next moult. Time will tell.....if I can cope for that long lol!!
