Hello,

I have been trialling something to see if it would help with my Brachypelma Verdezi messing her tank up and filling the water bowl with dirt. I like to make sure they have clean water every day, so her putting dirt in it means more work for me. I decided to put a ping pong ball in with her and she has stopped messing it up and instead moves the ball about.


Here is a picture of her just after moving it about:



Also here is a video of her getting a goal!

YouTube - Brachypelma Verdezi

(Look at her fangs go round the ball)


Enjoy,
Alex
