Tarantulas are SO SO SO SMART!

Last night I watched him pick up dirt with his little paws, roll it into a manageable ball, and then move it to a different location and pat it down. I guess the last two nights he's been moving dirt around to specific areas and organizing all by himself. He started doing it some more tonight and it's soo amazing. Never seen a spider pick up dirt before into a ball like that. And he does everything with so much intention and thought.

That's amazing. It's so wonderful and fascinating to watch them perform natural behaviours 💙💙
