HugeSpider have watched her for me for a while, and she haven't eaten and the terrarium has been a little to dry lately. But she was a old lady so she probably died from age...
Faint was my first tropical arachnid and I bought her in Bergen the 15th of August 2005. And like every other arachnid you buy in a pet store in Norway she was probably captured in the wild (so don't buy from arachnids from pet stores!). When I brought her home to Drammen the first thing I did was to tell my mum, one day later she came to me and asked: "The scorpion isn't real is it?"
Some days later she escaped from the terrarium and when I found her and tried to get her up in a box she singed my thumb 3-4 times in row (I still got a scar as a memory of that).
One year I was afraid for her to die since she wouldn't eat (she just ate two crickets and one cockroach and one locust I think), but after a while her appetite came back (video).
And the last year she has accomplished to eat HugeSpiders Pandinus imperator male and been handled by a woman on a exhibition (the second time she was handled in my care and the only one without gloves) without stinging.
She has been a lovely girl full of attitude and I'm going to miss her...
Rest in peace my little girl
