Let's end my summer break with a feeding video! This time around, Billie and I decided to feed all 16 "species" or color variants of Phormictopus that I currently keep.
CORRECTION: The spider at 15:45 is a Pholcid species, often referred to as a "Cellar spider" or "Daddy longlegs". I have a lot of these my tarantula room, and they are excellent for pest control!
